arXiv:2606.01747v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Through digital humanities research and scale-up historical data analysis, a significant amount of traditional historical text is converted into structured knowledge graphs. This paper provides a high-level architecture that combines bidirectional encoder representations of transformers (BERT) and graph neural networks (GNN) to extract the entities and relationships from various types of historical texts. The texts of traditional history resolve linguistic ambiguities, references limited by context, and a lack of established grammatical norms in
The continuous advancements in natural language processing (NLP) and graph neural networks (GNNs) are enabling more sophisticated methods for structured data extraction from unstructured historical texts.
This work represents a key step in leveraging AI to digitize and make accessible vast amounts of historical knowledge, transforming traditional humanities research and potentially creating new datasets for AI models.
The ability to automatically convert complex, ambiguous historical texts into structured knowledge graphs changes how historical data can be analyzed, integrated, and scaled.

More historical information becomes machine-readable and analyzable, accelerating research and pattern recognition.
New AI models could be trained on these structured historical datasets, leading to novel insights into societal and historical trends.
The democratization of historical analysis tools could broaden participation in historical research and education beyond traditional academic institutions.
