Artificial intelligence has made significant progress in natural language processing, with models like GPT-3 demonstrating impressive capabilities. However, these models still have limitations when it comes to complex tasks that require an understanding of the user, such as mastering human comedy writing strategies. This paper explores humor generation using GPT-3 by modeling human comedy writing theory and leveraging step-by-step thinking instructions. In addition, we explore the role of cognitive distance in creating humor., Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure; ICCC '23 preprint

Automated visual story generation aims to produce stories with corresponding illustrations that exhibit coherence, progression, and adherence to characters' emotional development. This work proposes a story generation pipeline to co-create visual stories with the users. The pipeline allows the user to control events and emotions on the generated content. The pipeline includes two parts: narrative and image generation. For narrative generation, the system generates the next sentence using user-specified keywords and emotion labels. For image generation, diffusion models are used to create a visually appealing image corresponding to each generated sentence. Further, object recognition is applied to the generated images to allow objects in these images to be mentioned in future story development., Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, AIIDE INT 2022
