AI is no longer reshaping technology alone—it is also transforming research in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS)
The AIDH Database (AI x Digital Humanities) serves as a research gateway within the Taiwan Academic Classics (TAC) platform, integrating AI-assisted translation, search, and Lumen’s extended discovery functions. Curated from journals across 16 countries in Asia, Europe, and North America, AIDH features nearly 2,000 interdisciplinary AI studies focusing on the applications and impacts of artificial intelligence in the humanities and social sciences.
AIDH focuses on the applications and impact of AI and digital technologies in HSS research, demonstrating how AI is reshaping research methodologies, knowledge production, and scholarly ecosystems. The database covers key areas including text and corpus analysis, digital infrastructure, library and information science, educational transformation, knowledge communication, platform governance, and socio-cultural studies.
Asian Perspectives and Research Topics
Nearly 70% of the collection originates from 6 Asian countries, including Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, India, and Indonesia, while the remaining content draws from Europe and North America. The database emphasizes Asia-related topics and globally applicable methodologies, combining regionally grounded perspectives with comparative international approaches.
AI-Assisted Multilingual Translation and Search
Drawing from peer-reviewed journals and academic platforms across multiple regions, AIDH integrates AI-assisted translation and multilingual search tools, helping researchers quickly engage with scholarship across different languages while significantly lowering language barriers.
An Interdisciplinary AI Research Hub
AIDH brings together AI-related research across communication, sociology, education, public governance, library and information science, and the arts and humanities, providing an interdisciplinary gateway for both teaching and research.
Lumen: Extending Discovery Beyond the Initial Answer
Integrated with the scholarly AI search assistant Lumen, AIDH supports users through questioning, search, summarization, citation tracing, and extended exploration of related themes, perspectives, historical periods, and regions.
Rather than simply generating answers, Lumen helps researchers identify connections, deepen inquiry, and navigate the historical depth of over a century of scholarship. Lumen delivers more than answers—it provides a verifiable, traceable, and extensible scholarly research system.
◆ Historical Depth Across a Century of Scholarship
Built upon the Taiwan Academic Classics (TAC) platform, Lumen draws from 380,000 articles and 35,000 journal issues and archival works spanning from the 1920s to the present, including numerous rare and out-of-print materials.
◆ Extending Discovery Beyond the Initial Answer
Lumen goes beyond answering questions by recommending related topics, contrasting perspectives, interdisciplinary connections, and comparative regional studies—helping users move from information retrieval toward deeper scholarly inquiry.
◆ Verifiable AI for Scholarly Citation
Every argument and statement is supported by cited sources with direct traceability to the original texts, enabling outputs that are academically verifiable and suitable for scholarly citation.
