Abstract

Children suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) suffer from slow learning and grasping issues. Vocabulary building for such kids is a major problem. A word is learned better and the meaning of it is understood well if it is in sentence format. As English is a funny language, and a particular word has multiple meanings, it is difficult for children with ASD to grasp it. Using artificial intelligence we aim to build the automated pun generator, pun i.e., a riddle-answer format to ease learning for children suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder. The pun-generator will have an interactive interface, lacking in most pun generators today, thus providing a rich learning experience.
