[目的/意义] 基于大语言模型,探索历史学领域循证知识库的构建与应用方法,旨在为历史学研究提供更加智能化的工具,促进数字人文时代的研究方法革新。[方法/过程] 首先,设计面向历史学的循证本体,建立证据语义组织框架;通过采用多阶段知识抽取策略,从历史文献中提取结构化的观点与证据。然后,结合向量检索与语言模型,进一步构建观点节点间的语义关联,形成历史学循证知识库。最后,采用多阶证据检索策略,逐层递进扩展证据检索范围,挖掘潜在的历史证据关联,支持历史学观点的智能化论证。[结果/结论] 基于历史学循证知识库构建的原型系统,在发掘深层历史证据和多维度论证方面展现了良好的效果,专家评测结果表明其具有较高的相关性、可靠性和实用性,展现出为历史研究提供智能化辅助的应用潜力。
[Purpose/Significance] Based on large language models, exploring the construction and application methods of an evidence-based knowledge base in the field of history can provide more intelligent tools for history research and promote the innovation of research methods in the digital humanities era. [Method/Process] First, an evidence-based history ontology was designed, establishing a framework for semantic organization of evidence. A multi-stage knowledge extraction strategy was employed to extract structured viewpoints and evidence from historical documents. Then, by combining vector retrieval with language models, semantic associations between viewpoint nodes were further constructed, forming an evidence-based knowledge base for history. Finally, a multi-level evidence retrieval strategy was adopted to progressively expand the scope of evidence retrieval, uncovering potential historical evidence associations to support the intelligent argumentation of historical viewpoints. [Result/Conclusion] The prototype system built on the evidence-based historical knowledge base has proven effective in uncovering deep historical evidence and enabling multidimensional argumentation. Expert evaluations suggest that the system demonstrates high relevance, reliability, and practicality, highlighting its potential to serve as an intelligent tool for historical research.
