TAIHU: Taiwan Humanities Conversational AI Knowledge Discovery System
TAIHU stands for Taiwan Humanities Conversational AI Knowledge Discovery System, an innovative platform designed to interactively explore and uncover the rich cultural and intellectual heritage of Taiwan.
TAIHU system connects multiple humanities databases to generate dialogue responses aligned with Taiwanese issues and contexts, enhancing the user's knowledge discovery experience. Users no longer need to conduct tedious searches across individual databases; instead, they can interact with the system through natural language queries within a single interface.
This streamlines the exploration of knowledge, making it more convenient, effective, accurate, and tailored to user needs. The system is expected to increase the utilization of Taiwan’s humanities databases and, through its interactive dialogue capabilities with language models, attract broader interest in and understanding of various aspects of Taiwanese humanities.
