- Abstract: A legal knowledge graph constructed from court cases, judgments, laws and
other legal documents can enable a number of applications like question
answering, document similarity, and search. While the use of knowledge graphs
for distant supervision in NLP tasks is well researched, using knowledge graphs
for applications like case similarity presents challenges. In this work, we
describe our solution for predicting similar cases in Indian court judgements.
We present our results and also discuss the impact of large language models on
this task.
