Similar Cases Recommendation using Legal Knowledge Graphs
This addresses case similarity prediction for legal professionals, but appears incremental as it builds on existing knowledge graph methods.
The paper tackled the problem of predicting similar cases in Indian court judgments using a legal knowledge graph, achieving unspecified results while also discussing the impact of large language models on this task.
A legal knowledge graph constructed from court cases, judgments, laws and other legal documents can enable a number of applications like question answering, document similarity, and search. While the use of knowledge graphs for distant supervision in NLP tasks is well researched, using knowledge graphs for applications like case similarity presents challenges. In this work, we describe our solution for predicting similar cases in Indian court judgements. We present our results and also discuss the impact of large language models on this task.
