Construction and Historical Application of the Intelligent Analysis System for The Sheng Xuanhuai Archives——From Enhanced Retrieval to Agent Reasoning

  • Online:2026-03-28 Published:2026-07-16

摘要:

面对浩如烟海且高度非结构化的历史档案,传统的数字化处理与关键词检索模式已难以满足日益复杂的史学研究需求,特别是在处理如《盛宣怀档案》这类涉及晚清政治、经济、外交等多维网络的复杂史料时,研究者常陷入查不全、理不清、关联难的困境。研究在回顾数字人文从数字化、结构化向智能化转型的技术背景的基础上,引入大语言模型前沿的思维链技术与推理—行动框架,构建了一个基于Agentic RAG的“盛宣怀档案智能分析系统”。该系统突破了传统知识图谱预定义的局限,通过“意图理解、资料检索、资料总结、评估决策、内容撰写”五个智能体的协同工作,实现了对全量档案文本的语义向量化与动态推理。系统具备主动规划检索路径、多步逻辑推演、跨文档证据互证以及自我纠错的能力,能够模拟历史学家“提出假设—史料搜集—考证辨析—形成结论”的认知过程。文章通过微观、中观和宏观三个层面的典型案例展示了该系统的应用潜力。研究实践证明,AI时代这种“人机回环”(Human-in-the-loop)的协作模式,不仅能将历史学家从繁琐的信息搜寻中解放出来,更开启了以数字文献考古与全息逻辑增强为特征的历史研究新探索的可能性。

Abstract:

Faced with a vast and highly unstructured body of historical archives, traditional digitization and keyword retrieval methods are insufficient to meet the increasingly complex needs of historical research.This is especially true when dealing with complex historical materials like The Sheng Xuanhuai Archives,which involve a multi-dimensional network of late Qing Dynasty politics, economy, and diplomacy.Researchers often find themselves in a predicament of incomplete retrieval, unclear organization, and difficulty in making connections.This study, based on a review of the technological background of the digital humanities' transformation from digitization and structuring to intelligentization, introduces cutting-edge thinking chain technology and reasoning-action framework from large language models to construct an "Intelligent Analysis System for The Sheng Xuanhuai Archives" based on Agentic RAG.This system breaks through the limitations of traditional predefined knowledge graphs, achieving semantic vectorization and dynamic reasoning of the entire archive text through the collaborative work of five agents: "intent understanding, data retrieval, data summarization, evaluation and decision-making, and content writing." The system possesses the capabilities of proactively planning retrieval paths, multi-step logical deduction, cross-document evidence verification, and self-correction, simulating the cognitive process of historians: "proposing hypotheses—collecting historical materials—verifying and analyzing—forming conclusions." This article demonstrates the system's application potential through typical cases at the micro, meso, and macro levels.Research practice proves that this "human-in-the-loop" collaborative model in the AI era not only liberates historians from tedious information searching but also opens up new possibilities for historical research characterized by digital archaeology and holographic logic enhancement.
