SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, USA, November 23, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ – AimeLaw, a research team from Aimesoft Multimodal Artificial Intelligence Lab (AIMAI Lab), took first place and the award for best presentation at the Automated Legal Question Answering Contest ALQAC 2021.

ALQAC 2021 is a competition organized by the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) in association with the 13th International Conference on Knowledge and Systems Engineering (KSE 2021), with the aim of promoting the research and development of AI software systems that automatically answer legal questions, helping users quickly find answers to legal questions.

In particular, AimeLaw obtained the prize for the best performance (first rank) in the task of Legal Textual Entailment and two second prizes in the tasks of Legal Document Retrieval and Legal Question Answering. AimeLaw also won the prize for the best presentation in the competition. In the Legal Textual Entailment task, competitors had to determine whether a legal statement or request is true or false based on the relevant legal articles. The retrieval of legal documents consists of retrieving the articles relevant to a legal entry request. Finally, the task of answering legal questions is to answer yes / no to legal questions and can be solved by combining a legal document retrieval model and a legal textual implication model. In the competition, by analyzing the structural features of legal documents, AimeLaw introduced new methods of data augmentation and text matching to improve the accuracy of the proposed artificial neural network models. The methods proposed by AimeLaw proved to be effective in the shared tasks at ALQAC 2021.

“We are very honored and happy to have won this award. We will be expanding AimeLaw to support many more languages ​​and contribute more to the legal word processing research community, ”said Dr Minh Pham, director of the AIMAI lab and leader of the AimeLaw research team.

AIMAI Lab is a research laboratory within Aimesoft Inc., which focuses on the research and development of multimodal AI technologies and applications, such as natural language processing, speech processing, computer vision and data mining technologies. AimeLaw is a research team from the AIMAI laboratory, which is particularly interested in the analysis of legal texts. The technologies that AimeLaw used in the competition have been applied to several real-world legal text analysis software from Aimesoft.

Previously, Dr Minh Pham also led other research projects which won many outstanding awards in the field of natural language processing (NLP). Specifically, in the VLSP 2018 and VLSP 2020 workshops, his research group received excellent awards on the tasks of Named Entity Recognition (NER), Social Media Exploration, and Relationship Extraction.
