Abstract
Traditional approaches in measuring cultural difference like AGA and survey are demanding in human efforts and vulnerable to biases in data collection. In this work, we propose that forum data can be a good alternative to AGA data collection and text mining technologies can significantly reduce the human efforts involved in quantifying cultural distance. Experiments and case studies show that the introduction of forum analysis and text mining into the areas of cross cultural studies is promising.
