Scaling Cultural Resources for Improving Generative Models

针对生成式模型跨文化、跨语言性能下降的问题，本研究构建了可重复可扩展的多维度数据收集流水线，产出文化相关的多语言数据，用于评估模型全球适用性并弥补跨文化差距。

Sigil3D: A Crowdsourcing Platform for Interactive 3D Content

In this paper we propose applying the crowdsourcing approach to a software platform that uses a modern and state-of-the-art 3D game engine. This platform could facilitate the generation and manipulation of interactive 3D environments by a community of users producing different content such as cultural heritage, scientific virtual labs, games, novel art forms and virtual museums.

Cartographic Design of Cultural Maps

Throughout history, maps have been used as a tool to explore cities. They visualize a city's urban fabric through its streets, buildings, and points of interest. Besides purely navigation purposes, street names also reflect a city's culture through its commemorative practices. Therefore, cultural maps that unveil socio-cultural characteristics encoded in street names could potentially raise citizens' historical awareness. But designing effective cultural maps is challenging, not only due to data scarcity but also due to the lack of effective approaches to engage citizens with data exploration.…

Rock, Rap, or Reggaeton?: Assessing Mexican Immigrants' Cultural Assimilation Using Facebook Data

The degree to which Mexican immigrants in the U.S. are assimilating culturally has been widely debated. To examine this question, we focus on musical taste, a key symbolic resource that signals the social positions of individuals. We adapt an assimilation metric from earlier work to analyze self-reported musical interests among immigrants in Facebook. We use the relative levels of interest in musical genres, where a similarity to the host population in musical preferences is treated as evidence of cultural assimilation. Contrary to skeptics of Mexican assimilation, we find significant cultural…

DaKultur：以母语者评估语言模型对丹麦语的文化意识

DaKultur: Evaluating the Cultural Awareness of Language Models for Danish with Native Speakers

本文通过63名丹麦母语者对1,038次互动的评估，首次研究了LLM在丹麦语上的文化意识，发现自动翻译数据不足以衡量文化适应，而基于母语者数据训练可使回复接受率提升一倍以上，并发布了首个母语丹麦语文化意识数据集DaKultur。

Ultrametricity increases the predictability of cultural dynamics

A quantitative understanding of societies requires useful combinations of empirical data and mathematical models. Models of cultural dynamics aim at explaining the emergence of culturally homogeneous groups through social influence. Traditionally, the initial cultural traits of individuals are chosen uniformly at random, the emphasis being on characterizing the model outcomes that are independent of these (`annealed') initial conditions. Here, motivated by an increasing interest in forecasting social behavior in the real world, we reverse the point of view and focus on the effect of specific (…

Digitising Cultural Complexity: Representing Rich Cultural Data in a Big Data environment

One of the major terminological forces driving ICT integration in research today is that of "big data." While the phrase sounds inclusive and integrative, "big data" approaches are highly selective, excluding input that cannot be effectively structured, represented, or digitised. Data of this complex sort is precisely the kind that human activity produces, but the technological imperative to enhance signal through the reduction of noise does not accommodate this richness. Data and the computational approaches that facilitate "big data" have acquired a perceived objectivity that belies their cu…
