Analyzable Legal Yes/No Question Answering System using Linguistic Structures (original) (raw)
A central issue of yes/no question answering is usage of knowledge source given a question. While yes/no question answering has been studied for a long time, legal yes/no question answering largely differs from other domains. The most distinguishing characteristic is that legal issues require precise linguistic analysis such as predicates, case-roles, conditions, etc. We have developed a yes/no question answer-ing system for answering questions in a legal domain. Our system uses linguistic analysis, in order to find correspondences of predicates and arguments given problem sentences and knowledge source sentences. We applied our system to the COLIEE (Competition on Legal Information Extraction/Entailment) 2017 task. Our team shared the second place in this COLIEE 2017 Phase Two task, which asks to answer yes or no given a problem sentence. This result shows that precise linguistic analyses are effective even without the big data approach with machine learning, rather better in its a...
