• Authors: Chen Cecilia Liu, Iryna Gurevych, Anna Korhonen,
• Abstract summary: The surge of interest in culturally aware and adapted Natural Language Processing has inspired much recent research. The lack of common understanding of the concept of "culture" has made it difficult to evaluate progress in this emerging area. We propose an extensive taxonomy of elements of culture that can provide a systematic framework for analyzing and understanding research progress.

• Abstract: The surge of interest in culturally aware and adapted Natural Language Processing (NLP) has inspired much recent research. However, the lack of common understanding of the concept of "culture" has made it difficult to evaluate progress in this emerging area. Drawing on prior research in NLP and related fields, we propose an extensive taxonomy of elements of culture that can provide a systematic framework for analyzing and understanding research progress. Using the taxonomy, we survey existing resources and models for culturally aware and adapted NLP, providing an overview of the state of the art and the research gaps that still need to be filled.

  Large-scale deployment of large language models (LLMs) in various applications requires LLMs to be culturally sensitive to the user to ensure inclusivity. Culture has been widely studied in psychology and anthropology, and there has been a recent surge in research on making LLMs more culturally inclusive.

• 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.

  Several NLP-related approaches have been surveyed in the research community. A comprehensive study that categorizes established topics, identifies trends, and outlines areas for future research remains absent. As a result, we present a structured overview of the research landscape, provide a taxonomy of fields of study in NLP, analyze recent developments in NLP, summarize our findings, and highlight directions for future work.
