Early Humorous Interaction: Towards a Formal Model

Résumé

Current computational models for humour recognition and laughter generation in dialogue systems face significant limitations in explainability, context consideration and adaptability. This paper approaches these challenges by investigating how humour recognition develops in its earliest forms-during the first year of life. Drawing on developmental psychology and cognitive science, we propose a formal model incorporated within the KoS dialogue framework. This model captures how infants evaluate potential humour through knowledgebased appraisal and context-dependent modulation, including safety, emotional state, and social cues. Our model formalises dynamic knowledge updates during the dyadic interaction. We believe that this formal model can serve as the basis for developing more natural humour appreciation capabilities in dialogue systems and can be implemented in a robotic platform.
