The proposed graph-aware autoencoder ensemble framework enables deep learning in the humanities by combining sub-architectures that produce models isomorphic to humanistic domains, ensuring interpretability. The framework includes formalisms and tooling for collaboration between traditional and computational researchers without disrupting established practices. It is demonstrated through a historical study of the American post-Atlantic slave trade, featuring novel mechanisms like hybrid graph-convolutional autoencoders, batching policies, and masking techniques. The effectiveness is shown by a suite of studies spanning various fields and data modalities, with performance comparisons between different architectural choices.

We created a special tool that helps humans learn more about the past. It combines many small models to create one big model that’s easy to understand. This makes it possible for people who aren’t experts in computers to work together with those who are. We used this tool to study the history of slavery in America, and we came up with some new ideas like a special way to mix different computer methods together. Our tool has been tested on many different types of data and problems, and it works well.
