Signed: Date: v “The limits of my language are the limits of my world.” Ludwig Wittgenstein vii Abstract Kolawole John ADEBAYO MULTIMODAL LEGAL INFORMATION RETRIEVAL The goal of this thesis is to present a multifaceted way of inducing semantic represen- tation from legal documents as well as accessing information in a precise and timely manner. The thesis explored approaches for semantic information retrieval (IR) in the Legal context with a technique that maps specific parts of a text to the relevant con- cept. This technique relies on text segments, using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a topic modeling algorithm for performing text segmentation, expanding the concept using some Natural Language Processing techniques, and then associating the text seg- ments to the concepts using a semi-supervised Text Similarity technique. This solves two problems, i.e., that of user specificity in formulating query, and information over- load, for querying a large document collection with a set of concepts is more fine-grained since specific information, rather than full documents is retrieved. The second part of the thesis describes our Neural Network Relevance Model for E-Discovery Information Re- trieval. Our algorithm is essentially a feature-rich Ensemble system with different compo- nent Neural Networks extracting different relevance signal. This model has been trained and evaluated on the TREC Legal track 2010 data. The performance of our models across board proves that it capture the semantics and relatedness between query and document which is important to the Legal Information Retrieval domain. Subject: Legal Informatics. Keywords: Convolutional Neural Network, Concept, Concept-based IR, CNN, E-Discovery, Eurovoc, EurLex, Information Retrieval, Document Retrieval, Legal Information Retrieval, Semantic Annotation, Semantic Similarity, Latent Dirichlet Allocation, LDA, Long Short- Term Memory, LSTM, Natural Language Processing, Neural Information Retrieval Neu- ral Networks, Text Segmentation, Topic Modeling viii Il Riassunto L’obiettivo di questa tesi è quello di presentare un modo sfaccettato di accesso alle in- formazioni da un curpus di documenti legali in modo preciso ed efficiente. Il lavoro inizia con un’esplorazione degli approcci relativi al recupero di informazioni semantiche (Information Retrieval o IR) nel contesto giuridico con una tecnica che mappa alcune parti di un testo a specifici concetti di una ontologia, basandosi su una segmentazione semantica dei testi. Tecniche di elaborazione del linguaggio naturale vengono poi uti- lizzate per associare i segmenti di testo ai concetti utilizzando una tecnica di similarità testuale. Pertanto, interrogando un documento legale di grandi dimensioni con una serie di concetti è possibile recuperare segmenti di testo ad una grana più fine, piuttosto che i documenti completi originari. La tesi si conclude con la descrizione di un classificatore di reti neurali per l’E-Discovery. Questo modello è stato addestrato e valutato sui dati della legal track TREC 2010, ottenendo una performance in grado di dimostrare che le più recenti tecniche di neural computing possono fornire buone soluzioni al recupero di informazioni che vanno dalla gestione dei documenti, di informazioni aziendali e di sce- nario relativi all’E-Discovery.

  • Unsupervised Extraction and Clustering of Key Phrases from Scientific Publications
    Unsupervised Extraction and Clustering of Key Phrases from Scientific Publications Xiajing Li Uppsala University Department of Linguistics and Philology Master Programme in Language Technology Master’s Thesis in Language Technology, 30 ects credits September 25, 2020 Supervisors: Dr. Fredrik Wahlberg, Uppsala University Dr. Marios Daoutis, Ericsson AB Abstract Mapping a research domain can be of great signicance for understanding and structuring the state-of-art of a research area. Standard techniques for system- atically reviewing scientic literature entail extensive selection and intensive reading of manuscripts, a laborious and time consuming process performed by human experts. Researchers have spent eorts on automating methods in one or more sub-tasks of reviewing process. The main challenge of this work lies in the gap in semantic understanding of text and background domain knowledge. In this thesis we investigate the possibility of extracting keywords from scien- tic abstracts in an automated way. We intended to use the categories of these keywords to form a basis of a classication scheme in the context of systemati- cally mapping studies. We propose a framework by joint unsupervised keyphrase extraction and semantic keyphrase clustering. Specically, we (1) explore the eect of domain relevance and phrase quality measures in keyphrase extraction; (2) explore the eect of knowledge graph based word embedding in embedding rep- resentation of phrase semantics; (3) explore the eect of clustering for grouping semantically related keyphrases. Experiments are conducted on a dataset of publications pertaining the do- main of "Explainable Articial Intelligence (XAI)”. We further test the perfor- mance of clustering using terms and labels from publicly available academic taxonomies and keyword databases.

  • Reducing Polysemy in Wordnet
    UNIVERSITY OF TRENTO DIPARTIMENTO DI INGEGNERIA E SCIENZA DELL’INFORMAZIONE 38050 Povo – Trento (Italy), Via Sommarive 14 http://www.disi.unitn.it REDUCING POLYSEMY IN WORDNET Kanjana Jiamjitvanich and Mikalai Yatskevich December 2008 Technical Report # DISI-08-085 . Reducing polysemy in WordNet Kanjana Jiamjitvanich, Mikalai Yatskevich Department of Information and Communication Technology University of Trento, Italy Abstract. A known problem of WordNet is that it is too fine-grained in its sense definitions. For instance, it does not distinguish between homographs and polysemes. This distinction is crucial in many natural language processing tasks. In this paper we propose to distinguish only between homographs within WordNet data while merging all polysemous senses. The ultimate goal of this exercise is to compute a more coarse- grained version of linguistic database. In order to achieve this task we propose to merge all polysemous senses according to similarity scores computed by a hybrid algorithm. The key idea of the algorithm is to combine the similarity scores produced by diverse semantic similarity al- gorithms. We implemented the algorithm and evaluated it on the dataset extracted from the WordNet. The evaluation results are promising in comparison to the other state of the art approaches. 1 Introduction WordNet [14] is an electronic lexical database for English which stores lemmas and exceptional forms of words, word senses, sense glosses, semantic and syntac- tic relations between words, and other information related to the structure and use of the language. WordNet data is used by Controlled Vocabulary (CV)[?] component of Sweb [?] knowledge management system. CV stores background knowledge to be used by the other components of the system.
