Comparing Alternatives in the law*Artificial Intelligence and Law - Tập 12 - Trang 181-225 - 2005
Jaap Hage
This paper argues the thesis that a particular style of reasoning, qualitative comparative reasoning (QCR), plays a role in at least three areas of legal reasoning that are central in AI and law research, namely legal theory construction, case-based reasoning in the form of case comparison, and legal proof. The paper gives an informal exposition of one particular way to deal with QCR, based on the...... hiện toàn bộ
Versioned linking of semantic enrichment of legal documentsArtificial Intelligence and Law - Tập 21 - Trang 485-519 - 2013
Ákos Szőke, András Förhécz, Gábor Kőrösi, György Strausz
Regulations affect every aspect of our lives. Compliance with the regulations impacts citizens and businesses similarly: they have to find their rights and obligations in the complex legal environment. The situation is more complex when languages and time versions of regulations should be considered. To propose a solution to these demands, we present a semantic enrichment approach which aims at (1...... hiện toàn bộ
Teleological arguments and theory-based dialecticsArtificial Intelligence and Law - Tập 10 - Trang 95-112 - 2002
Giovanni Sartor
This paper proposes to model legal reasoning asdialectical theory-constructiondirected by teleology. Precedents are viewed asevidence to be explained throughtheories. So, given a background of factors andvalues, the parties in a case canbuild their theories by using a set of operators,which are called theory constructors.The objective of each party is to provide theoriesthat both explain the evide...... hiện toàn bộ
Advanced techniques for legal document processing and retrievalArtificial Intelligence and Law - Tập 7 - Trang 341-361 - 1999
E. Pietrosanti, B. Graziadio
A large interest has been dedicated in recent years to the study of models for textual databases amenable to an effective integration of search and navigation functions. In the field of legal databases the need for sophisticated models is emphasised by the need to relate and combine in an effective way different types of texts, in order to solve legal problems. In our research we have analysed sev...... hiện toàn bộ
Definitions of intent suitable for algorithmsArtificial Intelligence and Law - Tập 31 - Trang 515-546 - 2022
Hal Ashton
This article introduces definitions for direct, means-end, oblique (or indirect) and ulterior intent which can be used to test for intent in an algorithmic actor. These definitions of intent are informed by legal theory from common law jurisdictions. Certain crimes exist where the harm caused is dependent on the reason it was done so. Here the actus reus or performative element of the crime is dep...... hiện toàn bộ
Argumentation miningArtificial Intelligence and Law - Tập 19 - Trang 1-22 - 2011
Raquel Mochales, Marie-Francine Moens
Argumentation mining aims to automatically detect, classify and structure argumentation in text. Therefore, argumentation mining is an important part of a complete argumentation analyisis, i.e. understanding the content of serial arguments, their linguistic structure, the relationship between the preceding and following arguments, recognizing the underlying conceptual beliefs, and understanding wi...... hiện toàn bộ
BankXX: Supporting legal arguments through heuristic retrievalArtificial Intelligence and Law - Tập 4 - Trang 1-71 - 1996
Edwina L. Rissland, David B. Skalak, M. Timur Friedman
The BankXX system models the process of perusing and gathering information for argument as a heuristic best-first search for relevant cases, theories, and other domain-specific information. As BankXX searches its heterogeneous and highly interconnected network of domain knowledge, information is incrementally analyzed and amalgamated into a dozen desirable ingredients for argument (called argument...... hiện toàn bộ
Merging of legal micro-ontologies from European directivesArtificial Intelligence and Law - Tập 15 - Trang 187-200 - 2007
Sylvie Despres, Sylvie Szulman
This paper describes the construction method of a legal application ontology. This method is based on the merging of micro-ontologies built from European community directives. The terminae construction method from texts enhanced by an alignment process with a core legal ontology is used for building micro-ontologies. A merging process allows constructing the legal ontology.
