• Abstract: Case 03 of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), focused on the so-called false positives in Colombia, represents one of the most harrowing episodes of the Colombian armed conflict. This article proposes an innovative methodology based on natural language analysis and semantic co-occurrence models to explore, systematize, and visualize narrative patterns present in the public hearings of victims and appearing parties. By constructing skipgram networks and analyzing their modularity, the study identifies thematic clusters that reveal regional and procedural status differences, providing empirical evidence on dynamics of victimization, responsibility, and acknowledgment in this case. This computational approach contributes to the collective construction of both judicial and extrajudicial truth, offering replicable tools for other transitional justice cases. The work is grounded in the pillars of truth, justice, reparation, and non-repetition, proposing a critical and in-depth reading of contested memories.

• Talking Point based Ideological Discourse Analysis in News Events [62.18747509565779]
  We propose a framework motivated by the theory of ideological discourse analysis to analyze news articles related to real-world events. Our framework represents the news articles using a relational structure - talking points, which captures the interaction between entities, their roles, and media frames along with a topic of discussion. We evaluate our framework's ability to generate these perspectives through automated tasks - ideology and partisan classification tasks, supplemented by human validation.

  Legal professionals often struggle with lengthy judgments and require efficient summarization for quick comprehension. We propose our framework, CoPERLex, which operates in three stages: first, it performs content selection to identify crucial information from the judgment. Second, the selected content is utilized to generate intermediate plans through event-centric representations modeled as Subject-VerbObjects. Third, it generates coherent summaries on both the content and the structured plan.

  We propose an Event Grounded Generation (EGG) method for criminal court view generation with cooperative (Large) Language Models. We first design a LLMs-based extraction method that can extract events in case facts without massive annotated events. Then, we incorporate the extracted events into court view generation by merging case facts and events.

• Exploiting Contrastive Learning and Numerical Evidence for Confusing Legal Judgment Prediction [46.71918729837462]
  Given the fact description text of a legal case, legal judgment prediction aims to predict the case's charge, law article and penalty term. Previous studies fail to distinguish different classification errors with a standard cross-entropy classification loss. We propose a moco-based supervised contrastive learning to learn distinguishable representations. We further enhance the representation of the fact description with extracted crime amounts which are encoded by a pre-trained numeracy model.
