A new paper proposes a socio-technical model for integrating cultural diversity into Natural Language Processing (NLP). The research argues that achieving cultural alignment requires more than just adding diverse data; it necessitates embracing plural epistemologies and locally grounded ways of knowing. The analysis indicates that current NLP approaches often address culture superficially, focusing on output or representation while neglecting deeper issues of power, governance, and social context. The authors conclude that a reflexive, pluralistic approach is needed to navigate the complexities of computational formalization for diverse linguistic and socio-cultural backgrounds. AI
