FIRE 2020 AILA Track: Artificial Intelligence for Legal Assistance

Published: 17 January 2021 Publication History

Abstract

The FIRE 2020 AILA track aimed at developing datasets and frameworks for the following two tasks: (i) Precedent and Statute Retrieval, where the task was to identify relevant prior cases and statutes (written laws) given a factual scenario, and (ii) Rhetorical Role Labelling for legal judgements, where given a case document, sentences were to be classified into 7 rhetorical roles – Fact, Ruling by Lower Court, Argument, Precedent, Statute, Ratio of the decision and Ruling by Present Court. For both the tasks, we used publicly available Indian Supreme Court case documents.
