Following the publication of Semantic Stability in the King James Bible: Comparing the 1611 and 1769 Editions, research and development of the InterLink Research Platform continues.
The completed study established a methodological foundation for computational analysis of historical biblical texts. Current efforts build on that foundation by improving the platform’s semantic understanding, retrieval accuracy, and ability to identify meaningful relationships across textual corpora.
Current Research and Development
Domain-Specific Embedding Model Adaptation
Work is underway to improve how embedding models represent historical spelling variations and theological language. Current experiments focus on curating training data using the pretrained model’s native tokenization patterns, with the objective of improving embedding quality and evaluating more efficient training strategies.
Context-Aware Semantic Tagging
A complementary effort focuses on identifying and distinguishing context-sensitive biblical terminology. By incorporating linguistic and theological context, semantic tagging is intended to improve retrieval precision and preserve distinctions that general-purpose models may overlook.
Future Research Directions
These developments will support several planned capabilities, including:
- Neural-network-assisted classification of historical spelling variations.
- Expanded semantic relationship analysis within and across biblical corpora.
- Knowledge graph construction for identifying and organizing scriptural connections.
- Historically informed semantic retrieval incorporating previously vetted theological research and analysis.
Together, these initiatives advance InterLink’s broader objective: combining computational methods with historical, linguistic, and theological scholarship to support rigorous, reproducible research.
Follow the Research
Saorsa Industries will continue sharing technical developments, experimental findings, practical demonstrations, and research publications as the platform evolves. Researchers, theologians, computational linguists, and others interested in these areas are encouraged to follow the work, share perspectives, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
