Insights into Information Extraction

Papers in this section delve into extracting specific legal elements such as terms, factors, semantic roles, and key details from judgments and policies. Researchers explore prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and the trade-offs between comprehensiveness and comprehensibility using LLMs.

Resolving the Privacy Policy Paradox with LLMs

The paper [LLM-Extract-5] addresses the inherent trade-off in policy documents: comprehensiveness (ensuring all legal aspects are covered) versus comprehensibility (being humanly readable). Documents sufficiently comprehensive often become too long to be easily understood. The authors argue that powerful LLMs can bridge this gap by digesting and comprehending essential information from substantial policy documents, effectively making them both comprehensive and accessible.

Insights into Information Retrieval

This area includes legal question answering (QA) and precedent retrieval. Studies investigate the efficiency of specialized Small Language Models (SLMs), the potential for AI-assisted tax returns, and the use of text summarization with LLM embeddings for cost-effective retrieval.

Insights into Other Legal AI Applications

This tab showcases diverse applications including neuro-symbolic legal judgment prediction, LLM-driven counterargument generation for criminal cases, and comparative evaluations of legal-specific versus general-purpose LLMs across multiple tasks.

Specialized vs. General LLMs in Legal AI

Feature General LLMs (e.g., GPT-4) Specialized Legal LLMs
Performance
  • Superior in many tasks
  • Superior in specific instances
Tasks Examined
  • Broad range (judgment prediction, law exam, summarization)
  • Focused legal tasks (e.g., specific classifications, semantic roles)
Data/Training
  • Vast general-purpose data
  • Fine-tuned on legal-specific datasets
Example Finding (from LLM-Class-4)
  • GPT-3.5/4.0 had lower accuracy for Korean sexual offense classification
  • Fine-tuned smaller models (KLUEBERT) delivered higher accuracy
