Scope and topics

CHum 2026 aims to foster further work on modeling the processes of humor with current methods in computational linguistics and natural language processing, against the theoretical backdrop of humor research and with reference to relevant corpora of textual, visual, and multimodal materials. A principal goal of the workshop is to unite researchers who can together probe the limits of various meaning representations -- symbolic, neural, and hybrid -- for humor processing.

We welcome contributions on any topic relevant to the computational processing of humor, including but not limited to the following:
  • LLMs, knowledge representation
  • Resources and evaluation
  • Human-computer interaction
  • Computer-mediated communication
  • Assisted content creation
  • Machine and computer-assisted translation
  • Digital humanities applications
  • Formal modeling of humor
  • Proof-of-concept humor detection and classification

Particularly encouraged are submissions describing inter- or multi-disciplinary work, whether completed or in progress, and position papers that critically discuss the past, present, and future of computational humor systems.

Submission instructions

Long and short papers should be formatted according to the same guidelines for the main ACL 2026 conference papers and submitted through START: https://softconf.com/acl2026/chum2026/

Important dates

All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth").

36th International Society for Humor Studies Conference (ISHS 2026)

Niterói, Brazil, July 6 to 10, 2026
https://ishs2026.org/

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MARCH 24, 2026


Call for papers

As in previous years, the Humor and AI Special Interest Group of the International Society for Humor Studies will hold a panel at the 36th International Society for Humor Studies Conference (ISHS 2026).  ISHS is a multidisciplinary conference organized and attended by humor researchers in diverse fields, including linguistics, psychology, sociology, computer science, folklore, literary studies, and many others.

We invite paper presentations on AI-based technology for generating, processing, or analyzing humor.  Contributions should be grounded in humor theory or other relevant theoretical frameworks, demonstrating how theory informs the design, analysis, or application of AI methods.  (Submissions that focus solely on AI tools without clear theoretical motivation or connection to humor research are outside the scope of this call.)  Application areas include, but are not limited to:
  • human–computer interaction
  • computer-mediated communication
  • intelligent writing assistants
  • conversational agents
  • machine and computer-assisted translation
  • digital humanities
  • natural language processing
  • computer vision

Submission instructions

Per ISHS 2026 policy, each (co-)author of the submission must separately register beforehand for the conference using the form at https://www.ishs2026.eventos.dype.com.br/.  Because the submission is for a pre-organized panel, co-authors should answer "No" to the question "Do you wish to send a proposal/work in your registration?"  Payment of the conference fee is not required at submission time, but will be required of all co-authors of submissions accepted for presentation.

The corresponding (co-)author should then e-mail the following information to the panel organizers at ishs-ai@groups.io:

  1. Title
  2. 250-word abstract
  3. 3 keywords
  4. Name, short biography, and conference registration code for each (co-)author
