- Abstract: Cultural gems is a web application conceived by the European Commission's
Joint Research Centre (DG JRC), which aims at engaging people and organisations
across Europe to create a unique repository of cultural and creative places.
The main goal is to provide a vision of European culture in order to strengthen
a sense of identity within a single European cultural realm. Cultural gems maps
more than 130,000 physical places in over 300 European cities and towns, and
since 2020 it also lists online cultural initiatives. The new release aims,
among other, to increase the interoperability of the application. At this
purpose, we provide an overview on the current development of an ontology for
Cultural gems used to map cultural heritage in European cities by using Linked
Open Data (LOD) standards, and making the data FAIR, that is Findable,
Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. We provide an overview of the
methodology, presenting the structure of the ontology, and the services and
tools we are currently building on top.

CUBE is a first-of-its-kind benchmark to evaluate cultural competence of Text-to-Image models.
CUBE covers cultural artifacts associated with 8 countries across different geo-cultural regions.
CUBE-CSpace is a larger dataset of cultural artifacts that serves as grounding to evaluate cultural diversity.

We first introduce Dalle Street, a large-scale dataset containing 9,935 images of 67 countries and 10 concept classes.
Next, we assess models' deeper culture understanding by an artifact extraction task and identify over 18,000 artifacts associated with different countries.
Finally, we propose a highly composable pipeline, CultureAdapt, to adapt images from culture to culture.

Vision-language models' performance remains suboptimal on images from non-western cultures.
Various benchmarks have been proposed to test models' cultural inclusivity, but they have limited coverage of cultures.
We introduce the GlobalRG benchmark, comprising two challenging tasks: retrieval across universals and cultural visual grounding.

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 explore the cultural perception embedded in Text-To-Image models by characterizing culture across three tiers: cultural dimensions, cultural domains, and cultural concepts.
We propose a comprehensive suite of evaluation techniques, including intrinsic evaluations using the CLIP space, extrinsic evaluations with a Visual-Question-Answer (VQA) model and human assessments.

Systems to Enhance Cultural Citizenship [67.5613995938273]
We introduce commonality as a new measure that reflects the degree to which recommendations familiarize a given user population with specified categories of cultural content.
Our results demonstrate that commonality captures a property of system behavior complementary to existing metrics and suggest the need for alternative, non-personalized interventions in recommender systems oriented to strengthening cultural citizenship across populations of users.
