ArXi:2606.00022v1 Announce Type: cross 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. In this paper, we describe our system for the SemEval-2026 Task-1 (MWAHAHA), which focuses on humor generation under explicit constraints. The task evaluates submitted systems via human preference judgments in 1-on-1 arena-style comparisons. We adopt a "generate-many -> select-best" strategy.
