Challenge: a recent study has focused on how to recognize punchlines from dialogues, but has neglected character information.
Approach: They propose a character-fusion conversational humor recognition model that uses character information to recognize punchlines from dialogue.
Outcome: The proposed model improves performance on Chinese sitcoms corpus and punchline identification.
