Started in Summer 2024, the AI and Cultural Heritage Lab is an extension of the Digital Humanities Holocaust Research Lab. In partnership with various digital libraries and archives, the AI Lab is investigating how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be used to enhance metadata, develop new finding aids and indexing systems, and deepen our analysis of complex cultural data. The Lab works with a wide-range of data including Holocaust testimony transcripts and criminal court records. Areas of research include:
- • Knowledge graphs – using LLMs to disambiguate data and build robust knowledge graphs to explore identities and relationships in dynamic environments.
- • Metadata generation – using LLMs to generate accurate and reliable metadata for digital collections.
- • Deep contextualization – using LLMs to help create deep contexts for understanding the content of documents.
