An Automatic Legal Document Summarization and Search Using Hybrid System
Abstract:
In this paper we propose a hybrid system for automatic text summarization and automatic search task related to legal documents in the legal domain. Manual summarization requires much human effort and time. For this reason automatic text summarization is introduced which saves the legal expert time. The summarization task involves the identification of rhetorical roles presenting the sentences of a legal judgement document. The search task involves the identification of related past cases as per the given legal query. For these two tasks we have introduced hybrid system which is the combination of different techniques. The techniques involved in our hybrid system are keyword or key phrase matching technique and case based technique. We have implemented and tested and required results are produced.
