We observed that, with a relatively minor decrease in performance, GPT-4 can perform batch predictions leading to significant cost reductions.

We compare the performance of a baseline setup, where GPT-4 is directly asked to explain a legal term, to an augmented approach, where a legal information retrieval module is used to provide relevant context to the model, in the form of sentences from case law.

We propose an adaptive environment (CABINET) to support caselaw analysis (identifying key argument elements) based on a novel cognitive computing framework that carefully matches various machine learning (ML) capabilities to the proficiency of a user.

The results also indicate that enhancements to a data set could be considered, alongside the advancement of the ML models, as an additional path for increasing classification performance on various tasks in AI & Law.

We use this observation in allowing annotators to quickly view and annotate sentences that are semantically similar to a given sentence, across an entire corpus of documents.

In this paper, we examine the use of multi-lingual sentence embeddings to transfer predictive models for functional segmentation of adjudicatory decisions across jurisdictions, legal systems (common and civil law), languages, and domains (i. e. contexts).

In this paper, we present a method of building strong, explainable classifiers in the form of Boolean search rules.
