arXiv:2606. 00022v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humor generation remains difficult not only because producing fluent, novel jokes is hard, but because "funny" is audience-dependent and supervision is noisy -- preferences vary with audience, context, and culture, and annotator agreement is often low.

Social media videos often communicate meanings that go beyond their visible actions, captions, or speech. A mundane clip may become humorous, ironic, or satire only through the interaction of multimodal cues and cultural context, making such content a difficult test case for video-language models.
arXiv:2607. 16076v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal sarcasm and cyberbullying detection remain challenging because the intended meaning often emerges from incongruity between textual and visual information rather than from either modality alone.
