Acquisition of Intercultural Data

  • Chapter
Social Interaction, Globalization and Computer-Aided Analysis

Part of the book series: Human–Computer Interaction Series ((HCIS))

Abstract

Commonly, computer systems rely on data, in the proposed approach on intercultural data. This chapter shows numerical approaches to deducing intercultural data using emotional-, personality- and culture-related information. Additional information is acquired from colloquial information about a particular culture, for example, information about its traditions, rites and rituals.
