Testing legal analytics to judicial decisions

• Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies

This event will feature a two-hour workshop with national-level legal experts to test the tool developed by the POLINE project, which applies a blend of data science, machine learning, and natural language processing techniques to judicial decisions.

The POLINE project is developing a Legal Analytics tool that will be directly usable in the three jurisdictions selected for testing (Italy, Sweden and Bulgaria).

The development of the tool is based on a multidisciplinary approach combining theory and practice of judicial decision-making for the study of the concept of judicial principle of law and the analysis of the case-law; legal informatics methods for the creation of an ontology of judicial concepts in VAT and training datasets of manually annotated judicial principles of law; AI, machine learning, and NLP techniques for the automatic extraction of principles, the detection of textual and semantic similarity, and network analysis.

This testing event will assess the technical and user-operability capacity of the preliminary version of the tool.

The event is by invitation only.
