Implicit Culture: an Approach for Experiential Reasoning

Usually, people tend to use knowledge acquired with the experience for their daily activities. Very often this knowledge is implicit and highly personalized, and it is very hard to make it explicit in information bases. Transferring knowledge to new community members or making it available for another community is a challenging problem. In this paper, we describe the Implicit Culture approach that uses learning techniques to facilitate the transfer of implicit knowledge and the reuse of previously accumulated experience. We briefly describe current applications of Implicit Culture and show how it relates to Experiential Reasoning.
