This paper introduces the Material Contracts Corpus (MCC), a publicly available dataset comprising over one million contracts filed by public companies with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) between 2000 and 2023. The MCC…
Large, high-quality datasets are crucial for training Large Language Models (LLMs). However, so far, there are few datasets available for specialized critical domains such as law and the available ones are often only for the English…
LexNLP is an open source Python package focused on natural language processing and machine learning for legal and regulatory text. The package includes functionality to (i) segment documents, (ii) identify key text such as titles and…
In this work, we present LengClaro2023, a dataset of legal-administrative texts in Spanish. Based on the most frequently used procedures from the Spanish Social Security website, we have created for each text two simplified equivalents. The…
This work describes the language resources and models developed for automatic simplification of Spanish texts in three domains: Finance, Medicine and History studies. We created several corpora in each domain, annotation and simplification…
In populous countries, pending legal cases have been growing exponentially. There is a need for developing NLP-based techniques for processing and automatically understanding legal documents. To promote research in the area of Legal NLP we…
A Smart Legal Contract (SLC) is a specialized digital agreement comprising natural language and computable components. The Accord Project provides an open-source SLC framework containing three main modules: Cicero, Concerto, and Ergo.…
With the success of large-scale pre-training and multilingual modeling in Natural Language Processing (NLP), recent years have seen a proliferation of large, web-mined text datasets covering hundreds of languages. We manually audit the…
Given the large size and volumes of contracts and their underlying inherent complexity, manual reviews become inefficient and prone to errors, creating a clear need for automation. Automatic Legal Contract Classification (LCC)…
We introduce CNER, an ensemble of capable tools for extraction of semantic relationships between named entities in Spanish language. Built upon a container-based architecture, CNER integrates different Named entity recognition and relation…
We present and make available pre-trained language models (Phraser, Word2Vec, Doc2Vec, FastText, and BERT) for the Brazilian legal language, a Python package with functions to facilitate their use, and a set of demonstrations/tutorials…
Employment contracts are used to agree upon the working conditions between employers and employees all over the world. Understanding and reviewing contracts for void or unfair clauses requires extensive knowledge of the legal system and…
Being able to understand information is a key factor for a self-determined life and society. It is also very important for participating in democratic processes. The study of automatic text simplification is often limited by the…
Reviewing contracts is a time-consuming procedure that incurs large expenses to companies and social inequality to those who cannot afford it. In this work, we propose "document-level natural language inference (NLI) for contracts", a…
Text simplification, crucial in natural language processing, aims to make texts more comprehensible, particularly for specific groups like visually impaired Spanish speakers, a less-represented language in this field. In Spanish, there are…
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is revolutionising the way both professionals and laypersons operate in the legal field. The considerable potential for NLP in the legal sector, especially in developing computational assistance tools for…
We present E3C-3.0, a multilingual dataset in the medical domain, comprising clinical cases annotated with diseases and test-result relations. The dataset includes both native texts in five languages (English, French, Italian, Spanish and…
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a critical component of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for extracting structured information from unstructured text. However, for low-resource languages like Catalan, the performance of NER systems often…
Legal texts, characterized by complex and specialized terminology, present a significant challenge for Language Models. Adding an underrepresented language, such as Spanish, to the mix makes it even more challenging. While pre-trained…
Legal work, characterized by its text-heavy and resource-intensive nature, presents unique challenges and opportunities for NLP research. While data-driven approaches have advanced the field, their lack of interpretability and…
