A Comprehensive Study of Artificial Intelligence in Preserving and Advancing Asia Minor’s Heritage

This study presents a systematic bibliometric evaluation of artificial intelligence methodologies applied to the preservation and interpretation of Asia Minor’s cultural heritage. Publication trends demonstrate notable continuity, with foundational works sustaining their citation impact over a span of twenty-five years, thereby underscoring enduring scholarly engagement. Network analyses of keyword co-occurrence delineate a conceptual core organized around immersive visualization, exemplified by terms such as cultural heritages, virtual reality, and photogrammetry, while temporal mappings reveal the recent integration of machine learning and deep learning paradigms. Collectively, these findings chart an intellectual landscape in which three-dimensional reconstruction constitutes the foundational axis of research, now progressively enriched by data-driven algorithmic approaches. This synthesis offers a concise yet comprehensive portrait of evolving methodological trajectories and emerging computational frontiers in AI-driven heritage scholarship.
