AbstractThis paper presents our system developed for the SemEval-2026 Task 1: MWAHAHA-Competition on Humor Generation. on Subtask A: Text-based Humor Generation. Given a set of text-based constraints, generate a joke. This subtask A will be conducted in English, Spanish, and Chinese. on Subtask B: Image-Based Caption Generation. This subtask explores humor in a multimodal context, combining visual inputs with text generation. This subtask B is in English only. To this end, we mainly focus on Subtask A: Text-based Humor Generation in English and Chinese, Subtask B: Image-BasedCaption Generation in English language to use two important languages models: BLIP and Qwen series LLM. For Task B1: Image-only Humor Generation and Task B2: Image and Prompt Humor Generation. Our submission achieved the good ranking place in the test set. All subtasks evaluated using Rating (95% CI) score across different languages and modality contexts. For Subtask A in English and Chinese, Rating score 950 and 1054, 95% CI [ 922, 982] and [1024, 1104], ranked 16th and 1st respectively. For Subtask B in B1 and B2, Rating score 976 and 987, 95% CI [ 941, 1007] and[948, 1016], ranked 5th and 3rd respectively. For the final ranking, organizers will use the Rating (95% CI) score.
