We are starting now with our panel on bringing cultural knowledge into language technology - starting with a talk by Shalom H. Schwartz

"Towards future: we need much more than 1 country == 1 culture" Alice Oh at C3NLP right now!

"You [cross-cultural NLP] are going against the flow of global cultural assimilation that has been going on for at least the past 200 years - it's a worthy battle, but a very tough one" -- Shalom H. Schwartz

What is considered right or wrong in a specific culture? What aspects should be promoted within a culture to be consistent with their values without being biased? Policy plays a big role. Accessibility is a must. Thanks kalikabali for the inspiring talk at C3NLP #ACL2024NLP
