Human interactions typically leverage a good theory of mind, involve pragmatics, story-telling, humor, sarcasm, empathy, sympathy, etc. Current human-AI interactions, however, lack many of these features that characterize inter-human interactions. Towards the goal of developing AI that can interact with humans naturally (similar to other humans), in this dissertation, I take steps towards studying aspects of humor, story-telling, and theory of (AI\u0026#39;s) mind.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESpecifically, I\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E1.
