Meta-Cultural Competence: Climbing the Right Hill of Cultural Awareness
Numerous recent studies have shown that Large Language Models (LLMs) are biased towards a Western and Anglo-centric worldview, which compromises their usefulness in non-Western cultural settings. However, "culture" is a complex, multifaceted topic, and its awareness, representation, and modeling in LLMs and LLM-based applications can be defined and measured in numerous ways. In this position paper, we ask what does it mean for an LLM to possess "cultural awareness", and through a thought experiment, which is an extension of the Octopus test proposed by Bender and Koller (2020), we argue that it is not cultural awareness or knowledge, rather meta-cultural competence, which is required of an LLM and LLM-based AI system that will make it useful across various, including completely unseen, cultures. We lay out the principles of meta-cultural competence AI systems, and discuss ways to measure and model those.

Bandit-Based Random Mutation Hill-Climbing
The Random Mutation Hill-Climbing algorithm is a direct search technique mostly used in discrete domains. It repeats the process of randomly selecting a neighbour of a best-so-far solution and accepts the neighbour if it…
Clustering by Hill-Climbing: Consistency Results
We consider several hill-climbing approaches to clustering as formulated by Fukunaga and Hostetler in the 1970's. We study both continuous-space and discrete-space (i.e., medoid) variants and establish their consistency.
