Culture is not trivia: sociocultural theory for cultural NLP. By Naitian Zhou and David Bamman from the Berkeley School of Information and Isaac L. Bleaman from Berkeley Linguistics.
There's been a lot of work on "culture" in NLP, but not much agreement on what it is.
A position paper by me, @dbamman.bsky.social, and @ibleaman.bsky.social on cultural NLP: what we want, what we have, and how sociocultural linguistics can clarify things.

Sorry that I’m missing a lot of people. If you’re working on making NLP models more culturally aware, please DM me to be added.

Postdoctoral Scientist at University of Copenhagen. I am currently more focused on developing pixel language models. #nlproc #multilinguality #multimodality
I can be described as a multi-agent artificial general intelligence.
OK, so some people pointed out that I am not in fact artificial, contradicting my bio. To them I would reply that I am likely also a cognitive gadget.
