梳理大模型文化敏感性研究,推动跨文化包容性发展
Survey of Cultural Awareness in Language Models: Text and Beyond
- 从心理学与人类学出发定义模型文化意识
- 提出跨文化数据集构建与评估方法体系
- 适用于社会科学研究与人机交互场景
大规模部署大型语言模型(LLMs)于聊天机器人和虚拟助手等应用中,要求模型具备文化敏感性以保障包容性。文化在心理学与人类学中已有广泛研究,近年来相关研究推动了超越多语言能力的模型文化包容性建设。本文系统梳理了文本与多模态大模型中文化意识的实现路径,从人类学与心理学定义出发界定文化意识,分析跨文化数据集构建方法、下游任务中的文化融入策略,以及文化敏感性评估基准。同时探讨文化对齐的伦理影响、人机交互在文化包容中的作用,及其对社会科学研究的促进意义,并指出当前文献中的研究空白,为未来方向提供指引。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large-scale deployment of large language models (LLMs) in various applications, such as chatbots and virtual assistants, 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 in LLMs that goes beyond multilinguality and builds on findings from psychology and anthropology. In this paper, we survey efforts towards incorporating cultural awareness into text-based and multimodal LLMs. We start by defining cultural awareness in LLMs, taking the definitions of culture from anthropology and psychology as a point of departure. We then examine methodologies adopted for creating cross-cultural datasets, strategies for cultural inclusion in downstream tasks, and methodologies that have been used for benchmarking cultural awareness in LLMs. Further, we discuss the ethical implications of cultural alignment, the role of Human-Computer Interaction in driving cultural inclusion in LLMs, and the role of cultural alignment in driving social science research. We finally provide pointers to future research based on our findings about gaps in the literature.
