Focus:

  • What is your overall idea?
  • What kind of data will you use and where do you get the data?
  • Your approach, which techniques will you use?
  • Expected results.

Open Questions:

  • How to evaluate similarity?
  • How to find structural patterns? (like phrases, setups, punchlines, or wordplay)

Possible Hypothesis:

  • Similar jokes share more common n-grams, phrases, or structural patterns.
  • Basic features like word frequency, sentiment, length, or punctuation can predict joke ratings.

other ideas:

  • The length of a joke (measured in words or characters) is inversely correlated with its average rating, as shortness may enhance comedic impact.

  • Highly rated jokes follow certain structural patterns (e.g., setups, punchlines, or wordplay).

Possible Tools / Techniques

  • Text Preprocessing: Tokenization, stopword removal, stemming/lemmatization.

  • Feature Extraction: Bag-of-Words, n-grams (bigram/trigram analysis), TF-IDF.

  • Similarity: Cosine similarity for finding similar jokes.
