EUROPA: A Legal Multilingual Keyphrase Generation Dataset
This addresses the problem of limited domain-specific multilingual resources for keyphrase generation, particularly for legal researchers and practitioners, but it is incremental as it extends existing work to a new domain and languages.
The authors tackled the lack of multilingual keyphrase generation datasets in the legal domain by creating EUROPA, a dataset derived from EU court judgments in 24 languages, and found that current models show room for improvement on this corpus.
Keyphrase generation has primarily been explored within the context of academic research articles, with a particular focus on scientific domains and the English language. In this work, we present EUROPA, a dataset for multilingual keyphrase generation in the legal domain. It is derived from legal judgments from the Court of Justice of the European Union (EU), and contains instances in all 24 EU official languages. We run multilingual models on our corpus and analyze the results, showing room for improvement on a domain-specific multilingual corpus such as the one we present.
