• Abstract: We present a methodology to support the analysis of culture from text such as news events and demonstrate its usefulness on categorizing news events from different categories (society, business, health, recreation, science, shopping, sports, arts, computers, games and home) across different geographical locations (different places in 117 countries). We group countries based on the culture that they follow and then filter the news events based on their content category. The news events are automatically labelled with the help of Hofstedes cultural dimensions. We present combinations of events across different categories and check the performances of different classification methods. We also presents experimental comparison of different number of features in order to find a suitable set to represent the culture.

• Extrinsic Evaluation of Cultural Competence in Large Language Models [53.626808086522985]
  We focus on extrinsic evaluation of cultural competence in two text generation tasks. We evaluate model outputs when an explicit cue of culture, specifically nationality, is perturbed in the prompts. We find weak correlations between text similarity of outputs for different countries and the cultural values of these countries.

  We analyze the temporal and categorical event dynamics driven by cultural diversity using over 2 million event logs collected over 17 years in 90 countries. Our results show that the national economic status explains 44.6 percent of the variance in total event count, while cultural characteristics such as individualism and long-term orientation explain 32.8 percent of the variance in topic categories.

• Classification of news spreading barriers [3.0036519884678894]
  We propose an approach to barrier classification where we infer the semantics of news articles through Wikipedia concepts. We collect news articles and annotated them for different kinds of barriers using the metadata of news publishers. We utilize the Wikipedia concepts along with the body text of news articles as features to infer the news-spreading barriers.

We propose a new ensemble architecture, EDSA-Ensemble, that uses Event Detection and Sentiment Analysis to improve the detection of the polarity for current events from Social Media.

  This work takes a crucial step in this direction by introducing a method to infer cultural regions based on the automatic analysis of large datasets from microblogging posts. Specifically, regional variations in written discourse are measured in American social media. Through a hierarchical clustering of the data in this lower-dimensional space, this method yields clear cultural areas and the topics of discussion that define them.

  Events are happening in real-world and real-time, which can be planned and organized for occasions, such as social gatherings, festival celebrations, influential meetings or sports activities. Social media platforms generate a lot of real-time text information regarding public events with different topics. However, mining social events is challenging because events typically exhibit heterogeneous texture and metadata are often ambiguous.

• Content-based Analysis of the Cultural Differences between TikTok and Douyin [95.32409577885645]
  Short-form video social media shifts away from the traditional media paradigm by telling the audience a dynamic story to attract their attention. In particular, different combinations of everyday objects can be employed to represent a unique scene that is both interesting and understandable. Offered by the same company, TikTok and Douyin are popular examples of such new media that has become popular in recent years. The hypothesis that they express cultural differences together with media fashion and social idiosyncrasy is the primary target of our research.
