  abstract  = {Personal writings have inspired researchers in the fields of linguistics and
	psychology to study the relationship between language and culture to better
	understand the psychology of people across different cultures. 
	In this paper, we explore this relation by developing cross-cultural word
	models to identify words with cultural bias -- i.e., words that are used in
	significantly different ways by speakers from different cultures. 
	Focusing specifically on two cultures: United States and Australia, we identify
	a set of words with significant usage differences, and further investigate
	these words through feature analysis and topic modeling, shedding light on the 
	attributes of language that contribute to these differences.},
