point-of-view
- Authors: Sankalok Sen
- Abstract summary: This paper attempts to bridge the gap by providing several statistical, machine learning, deep learning and zero-shot learning based methods to effectively analyze legal judgments from Hong Kong's Court System.
The methods proposed consists of: (1) Network Graph Generation, (2) PageRank Algorithm, (3) Keyword Analysis and Summarization, (4) Sentiment Polarity, and (5) Paragrah Classification.
This would make the overall analysis of judgments in Hong Kong less tedious and more automated in order to extract insights quickly using fast inferencing.

- Abstract: Analysis and extraction of useful information from legal judgments using
computational linguistics was one of the earliest problems posed in the domain
of information retrieval. Presently, several commercial vendors exist who
automate such tasks. However, a crucial bottleneck arises in the form of
exorbitant pricing and lack of resources available in analysis of judgements
mete out by Hong Kong's Legal System. This paper attempts to bridge this gap by
providing several statistical, machine learning, deep learning and zero-shot
learning based methods to effectively analyze legal judgments from Hong Kong's
Court System. The methods proposed consists of: (1) Citation Network Graph
Generation, (2) PageRank Algorithm, (3) Keyword Analysis and Summarization, (4)
Sentiment Polarity, and (5) Paragrah Classification, in order to be able to
extract key insights from individual as well a group of judgments together.
This would make the overall analysis of judgments in Hong Kong less tedious and
more automated in order to extract insights quickly using fast inferencing. We
also provide an analysis of our results by benchmarking our results using Large
Language Models making robust use of the HuggingFace ecosystem.

We transform a large open-source legal corpus into a dataset supporting information retrieval (IR) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
This dataset CLERC is constructed for training and evaluating models on their ability to (1) find corresponding citations for a given piece of legal analysis and to (2) compile the text of these citations into a cogent analysis that supports a reasoning goal.

We propose a question alignment approach to bridge the gap between large language models' English and non-English performance.
Experiment results show that the question alignment approach can be used to boost multilingual performance across diverse reasoning scenarios.
To understand the mechanism of its success, we analyze representation space, chain-of-thought and translation data scales.

Case Law Dataset [0.0]
This study addresses the gap in the literature working with large legal corpora about how to isolate cases, in our case summary judgments, from a large corpus of UK court decisions.
We use the Cambridge Law Corpus of 356,011 UK court decisions and determine that the large language model achieves a weighted F1 score of 0.94 versus 0.78 for keywords.
We identify and extract 3,102 summary judgment cases, enabling us to map their distribution across various UK courts over a temporal span.
