Applying an Information Retrieval Approach to Retrieve Relevant Articles in the Legal Domain
Retrieving legal texts is an important step for building a question answering system on law domain, which needs relevant articles to answer a query. Remarkable research has been done on legal information retrieval. However, retrieving relevant articles for a question is an extremely challenging task. In this paper, we describe a novel approach to retrieve relevant civil law article for a question from legal bar exams. We used three models Hiemstra, BM25 and PL2F implemented within Terrier. Our system retrieves top-ranked document from the collection according to the models specified and it outputs one single document per query. The best model has been selected on the basis of voting algorithm. Appropriate civil law articles are then retrieved using a mapping between document pair-id and the articles. The system achieved an accuracy of over 71.16% of correct civil law articles on training data and moderate scores on test data.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Data Science (ADS) publishes cutting-edge research findings, experimental results and case studies of data science. Although Data Science is regarded as an interdisciplinary field of using mathematics, statistics, databases, data mining, high-performance computing, knowledge management and virtualization to discover knowledge from Big Data, it should have its own scientific contents, such as axioms, laws and rules, which are fundamentally important for experts in different fields to explore their own interests from Big Data. ADS encourages contributors to address such challenging problems at this exchange platform. At present, how to discover knowledge from heterogeneous data under Big Data environment needs to be addressed. ADS is a series of volumes edited by either the editorial office or guest editors. Guest editors will be responsible for call-for-papers and the review process for high-quality contributions in their volumes.
