# ColBERT_Humor
## Dataset Description
- **Paper:** [Colbert: Using bert sentence embedding for humor detection](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.12765)
## Dataset Summary
ColBERT Humor contains 200,000 labeled short texts, equally distributed between humorous and non-humorous content. The dataset was created to overcome the limitations of prior humor detection datasets, which were characterized by inconsistencies in text length, word count, and formality, making them easy to predict with simple models without truly understanding the nuances of humor. The two sources for this dataset are the News Category dataset, featuring 200k news headlines from the Huffington Post (2012-2018), and a collection of 231,657 Reddit jokes. The texts have been rigorously preprocessed to ensure syntactic similarity, requiring models to delve into the linguistic intricacies to distinguish humor, effectively providing a more complex and substantial platform for humor detection research.
For the details of this dataset, we refer you to the original [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.12765).
