- Abstract: A computable contract is a contract that a computer can read, understand and
execute. The financial services industry makes extensive use of contracts, for
example, mortgage agreements, derivatives contracts, arbitration agreements,
etc. Most of these contracts exist as text documents, making it difficult to
automatically query, execute and analyze them. In this vision paper, we argue
that the use of computable contracts in the financial services industry will
lead to substantial improvements in customer experience, reductions in the cost
of doing legal transactions, make it easier to respond to changing laws, and
provide a much better framework for making decisions impacted by contracts.
Using a simple payment agreement, we illustrate a Contract Definition Language,
sketch several use cases and discuss their benefits to the financial services
industry.

We present the first large-scale empirical study on the presence and use of contracts in Android applications, written in Java or Kotlin.
We analyzed 2,390 Android applications from the F-Droid repository and processed more than 51,749 KLOC.
Our findings show that it would be desirable to have libraries that standardize contract specifications in Java and Kotlin.

Extraction [84.0634340572349]
We study automatic Contract Clause Extraction (CCE) by modeling implicit relations in legal contracts.
In this work, we first comprehensively analyze the complexity issues of contracts and distill out three implicit relations commonly found in contracts.
We propose a novel framework ConReader to exploit the above three relations for better contract understanding and improving CCE.

We propose "document-level natural language inference (NLI) for contracts"
A system is given a set of hypotheses and a contract, and it is asked to classify whether each hypothesis is "entailed by", "contradicting to" or "not mentioned by" (neutral to) the contract.
We release the largest corpus to date consisting of 607 annotated contracts.

Corruption through contract fraud is often conducted by withholding and/or altering financial information.
We propose the Minimum Hybrid Contract (MHC), with the aim of 1) auditability, 2) transparency, and 3) immutability to the contract's financial transactions.
Secure peer-to-peer financial transactions, transparency, and cost accounting are automated by the smart contract, and legal issues or disputes are carried out by civil courts.
