This article describes an information retrieval system with entity query expansion by relevance feedback. The performance of the system is tested assuming its usage as a support tool for lawyers constructing a legal framework for a case. The objective is to improve the precision of results when searching for relevant jurisprudence. For this, the entities belonging to a knowledge base are used as a means to expand the query. The expansion can be done using either an automatic or an interactive mechanism. This second approach suggests to the user concepts related to the query, which might improve the search experience. An ontology and a knowledge base, called LegalOnto and LegalBase, respectively, were developed. The ontology includes concepts not addressed by existing legal ontologies, and the knowledge base integrates LegalOnto with the thesaurus of the Argentine System of Legal Information (Sistema Argentino de Información Jurídica: SALT), enriched in the subject of traffic accidents.
Quantitative experimentation is carried out upon a set of court documents that are used to populate the knowledge base. Preliminary results are encouraging. |
