Towards Resolution Support to Cross-Cultural Communication Gaps: Using Partially Bilingual Experience Corpus

Abstract

In this poster, we discuss ideas on how to support cross-language communication, which tends to arouse cultural gaps, even if trans-lingual interpretation is provided. Many people usually write article (diary/essay/ etc.) on their daily experiences as UGC (User-Generated Content) through social media. Among them there may be certain situation of miscommunication caused by cultural gaps. Using text corpus of such experiences, it seems to be possible to extract useful knowledge that would help alleviate misunderstanding each other. From this viewpoint related research issues will be mentioned as exciting challenges in the near future.
