Culturally-aware IO Defense (CLAID)

Abstract

The Culturally-aware IO Defense (CLAID) program aims to create human language technology capabilities to enable machines to understand cultural background and social and emotional context in order to deepen situational awareness of emergent incidents. Speakers produce and consume language within a social and cultural context that influences cognition, beliefs, and intents through shared values, and social norms. Therefore, for a natural language processing (NLP) system to fully understand a language and its speakers, it must understand culture and social context. Specific sociocultural NLP capabilities to be developed in CLAID include understanding localized references to entities, assessing emotion and urgency, and interpreting the cultural significance of narratives and events. CLAID will develop technologies to enable local commanders to better understand rapidly changing tactical environments, and to more effectively plan and conduct stabilization operations in all phases of conflict.
