用大模型把历史地籍数据变可查的代码,让威尼斯城市变迁看得见。

LLM Agents for Interactive Exploration of Historical Cadastre Data: Framework and Application to Venice

  • 用自然语言生成可执行代码,处理历史地籍查询。
  • 在1740-1808年威尼斯数据上验证,准确还原人口与产权信息。
  • 适合研究城市史、数字人文的学者快速分析复杂历史数据。

地籍数据揭示了城市历史组织的关键信息,但因格式多样和人工标注不统一,难以大规模分析。本文以1740至1808年威尼斯为案例,研究其在古共和国衰落与旧制度终结后的城市变迁。该时期地籍数据体量庞大且结构不统一,带来独特挑战。我们提出一个文本转程序框架,利用大语言模型(LLMs)将自然语言查询转化为可执行代码,用于分析历史地籍记录。方法包含两个互补组件:用于结构化查询的SQL代理,以及处理复杂分析任务的编程代理。我们构建了一个分类体系,根据研究问题的复杂度与分析需求匹配最合适的技术路径。系统通过执行一致性检验和答案质量定性评估,确保输出可解释且减少幻觉。结果表明,该框架能有效重建威尼斯的历史人口分布、地产特征及时空对比,实现从过去到现在的空间信息贯通。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Cadastral data reveal key information about the historical organization of cities but are often non-standardized due to diverse formats and human annotations, complicating large-scale analysis. We explore as a case study Venice's urban history during the critical period from 1740 to 1808, capturing the transition following the fall of the ancient Republic and the Ancien Régime. This era's complex cadastral data, marked by its volume and lack of uniform structure, presents unique challenges that our approach adeptly navigates, enabling us to generate spatial queries that bridge past and present urban landscapes. We present a text-to-programs framework that leverages Large Language Models (\llms) to process natural language queries as executable code for analyzing historical cadastral records. Our methodology implements two complementary techniques: a SQL agent for handling structured queries about specific cadastral information, and a coding agent for complex analytical operations requiring custom data manipulation. We propose a taxonomy that classifies historical research questions based on their complexity and analytical requirements, mapping them to the most appropriate technical approach. This framework is supported by an investigation into the execution consistency of the system, alongside a qualitative analysis of the answers it produces. By ensuring interpretability and minimizing hallucination through verifiable program outputs, we demonstrate the system's effectiveness in reconstructing past population information, property features, and spatiotemporal comparisons in Venice.
