## Abstract (arXiv)

This paper describes our contribution to SemEval-2020 Task 7: Assessing Humor in Edited News Headlines. Here we present a method based on a deep neural network. In recent years, quite some attention has been devoted to humor production and perception. Our team KdeHumor employs recurrent neural network models including Bi-Directional LSTMs (BiLSTMs). Moreover, we utilize the state-of-the-art pre-trained sentence embedding techniques. We analyze the performance of our method and demonstrate the contribution of each component of our architecture.
