The rapid development of large language models (LLMs) has introduced unprecedented possibilities in the field of humanities research. In Taiwan, the TAIwan HUmanities Conversational AI Knowledge Discovery System (TAIHUCAIS) integrates unique Taiwanese data with advanced AI technologies to address challenges related to fragmented data management and complex query requirements in humanities research. Grounded in user experience research, the system offers an intuitive conversational platform that streamlines the knowledge discovery process to meet the needs of humanities scholars. This presentation will share the development journey of TAIHUCAIS, including real-world application outcomes, and explore challenges encountered while integrating Taiwanese humanities data, such as difficulties in obtaining data authorization and issues of LLMs bias. Additionally, it will explore how these experiences can inspire research endeavors in other cultural and linguistic contexts, paving the way for future collaborations between LLMs and IT, and further promoting innovation and international connectivity.
