Challenges and Strategies in Cross-Cultural NLP

Understand

Various efforts in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) community have been made to accommodate linguistic diversity and serve speakers of many different languages.

• However, it is important to acknowledge that speakers and the content they produce and require, vary not just by language, but also by culture.
• Although language and culture are tightly linked, there are important differences.
• Analogous to cross-lingual and multilingual NLP, cross-cultural and multicultural NLP considers these differences in order to better serve users of NLP systems.
