Intelligent Historiography:Empirical Research of Historical Materials and Academic Verification with the Support of Digital Technology
Artificial intelligence has shown great potential in enhancing historical research.Howev-er,it currently faces challenges related to insufficient professionalism,low reliability and credibility,as well as inadequate explainability and traceability.Under the guidance of new propositions such as all-source literature,computability,final full texts,and evidence-based traceability,the establishment of a digital infrastructure for"intelligent historiography"is imperative.This infrastructure facilitates a compre-hensive evidence chain through bidirectional tracing of"bibliographic catalog-digital objects-final texts-knowledge bases-knowledge linkages,"which can effectively address the aforementioned chal-lenges associated with Al's integration into historical research.Furthermore,this development has the potential to transform the traditional paradigm that posits historians must first become adept in the collec-tion and organization of materials and then become scholars who can control documents.With the support of digital technology,both"historical material collation"and"historical research"will evolve toward grea-ter specialization,seeming like there is a"transparent membrane"boundary between the two that is visible yet without necessitating for direct penetration into each other's domains.This will collectively promote the advancement of historical research.
