Funny3 at SemEval-2020 Task 7: Humor Detection of Edited Headlines with LSTM and TFIDF Neural Network System

Abstract

This paper presents a neural network system where we participate in the first task of SemEval-2020 shared task 7 "Assessing the Funniness of Edited News Headlines". Our target is to create a neural network model that predicts the funniness of edited headlines. We build our model using a combination of LSTM and TF-IDF, then a feed-forward neural network. The system manages to slightly improve RSME scores regarding our mean score baseline. 1
