Knowledge Graph Reasoning and Graph Attention Network for Intangible Cultural Heritage Spatial Narrative Path Generation in Water Town Settlements
This paper proposes a novel framework for generating personalized spatial narrative paths for intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in water towns. It leverages a two-layer knowledge graph (cultural and spatial) and a graph attention network (GAT) to fuse information and user interest profiles. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in recommendation metrics, cultural understanding, and narrative coherence compared to traditional methods. The approach provides a reusable technical path for intelligent planning and revitalization of ICH in dynamic cultural tourism contexts.
Key Performance Indicators
The proposed Dual-Layer Graph Attention Model (Dual-GAT) significantly outperforms traditional methods, showcasing notable improvements in user satisfaction and recommendation accuracy for cultural heritage spatial narrative generation.

AI & Cultural Heritage
AI for Intangible Cultural Heritage Revitalization
This category focuses on leveraging artificial intelligence, particularly knowledge graphs and graph neural networks, to model, analyze, and present complex cultural heritage data. The goal is to enhance the systematic presentation, personalization, and revitalization of cultural resources in smart tourism and cultural preservation contexts. It addresses challenges in cultural association expression, spatial structure depiction, and personalized tour route generation by integrating semantic understanding with spatial accessibility.

Water Town Cultural Narrative Example
The Dual-GAT model successfully generates interpretable spatial narratives for ICH in water towns. For instance, routes themed on 'Water Town Wedding Customs - Dragon Boat Culture' connect sites like wedding ceremony space ancestral hall, riverside wharf, dragon boat square, and shipyard workshop into a cohesive, story-like experience. This contrasts with linear, text-based fixed routes, demonstrating the model's ability to unify cultural lineage and spatial topology into engaging tour paths that users perceive as 'more like a story you can follow'.

Your AI Implementation Roadmap
A phased approach to integrate Knowledge Graph and GAT into your cultural heritage initiatives, ensuring smooth adoption and measurable impact.
Phase 1: Knowledge Graph Foundation
Duration: 2-3 Months
Construct the dual-layer ICH knowledge graph, integrating cultural and spatial data, and defining cross-layer mappings.
Phase 2: Model Development & Training
Duration: 3-4 Months
Develop and train the two-layer GAT model with user interest profiles, focusing on cross-layer attention and path generation algorithms.
Phase 3: Pilot Deployment & Refinement
Duration: 2-3 Months
Implement the system in selected Dongguan water towns, collect user feedback, and refine the model parameters and path scoring function.
Phase 4: Scaling & Integration
Duration: 4-6 Months
Expand the system to broader regions, integrate with existing smart tourism platforms, and continuously monitor performance and user satisfaction.
