Il est des sujets parmi les activités cognitives humaines que l’intelligence artificielle étudie peu : comprendre le rire en est un exemple. Cet article exploratoire cherche à identifier les mécanismes à l’œuvre dans les mots d’esprit et les blagues à caractère narratif et logique. Il semble que dans nombre d’entre eux, un mécanisme de révision de croyances opère, conduisant à une conclusion inattendue, et assurant la chute finale de la plaisanterie. Les blagues à fonctionnement analogique sont aussi évoquées. L’article comporte aussi une substantielle étude bibliographique couvrant les travaux anciens ou moderne sur le rire (illustrée par quelques bons mots).
There are some human cognitive activities that have remained little studied in artificial intelligence : understanding laughter is an example. This exploratory paper tries to identify the mechanisms at work in quips and narrative logical jokes. It seems that in many cases a belief revision mechanism is operating, leading to an unexpected conclusion, through the punchline of the jest. The jokes with analogical functioning are also evoked. The article also includes a substantial bibliographical study covering ancient or modern works on laughter (illustrated by some puns).
