Indian Legal NLP Benchmarks : A Survey
This work is incremental, as it surveys existing efforts and suggests new benchmarks to benefit the AI community and legal professionals in India.
The paper addresses the lack of challenging NLP benchmarks for Indian legal text, which differs from standard English, and proposes ideas for creating new benchmarks to spur innovation in this domain.
Availability of challenging benchmarks is the key to advancement of AI in a specific field.Since Legal Text is significantly different than normal English text, there is a need to create separate Natural Language Processing benchmarks for Indian Legal Text which are challenging and focus on tasks specific to Legal Systems. This will spur innovation in applications of Natural language Processing for Indian Legal Text and will benefit AI community and Legal fraternity. We review the existing work in this area and propose ideas to create new benchmarks for Indian Legal Natural Language Processing.
