Computational study demonstrates improved discoverability and data retention across multimedia heritage collections, indicating enhanced preservation of legacy archives.

Key Points

To develop a non-destructive multimodal artificial intelligence framework that enhances archival discoverability and preserves legacy metadata across cultural and scientific collections.
Engineered an architecture utilizing a shared semantic space to fuse text, visual, and audio modalities alongside automated metadata enrichment and semantic linking.
Implemented a Semantic Anchor strategy designed to protect and retain fragile, sparse legacy metadata during digital indexing.
Achieved a Mean Precision @ 5 of 0.92 across heterogeneous multimedia collections.
Maintained a 100% Data Retention rate, successfully recovering inaccessible dark data without erasing legacy records.
