Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We report on a project consisting in the application of the Intertextual Semantics modeling method (IS; Marcoux 2006 , Marcoux & Rizkallah 2007a , Marcoux & Rizkallah 2009 ) to a particular type of legal document: the “Agreement as to the conduct of the proceedings,” used in the Province de Québec (Canada). This was done as a sub-project of the Towards Cyberjustice project in the Faculty of Law at Université de Montréal . One of the project objectives was to verify whether the availability of a semantic model of a document type (more precisely, a IS model) would impact on (and hopefully help) the development of an application for the collaborative authoring of such documents. We first explain how the project lead to many extensions to the then existing rudimentary IS platform ( Marcoux 2009 ), and describe the most important of them. We then present a few unforeseen difficulties that arose in the process of modeling, and the lessons learned. Although no definite answer was obtained as to whether IS can directly help in the development of applications, the project showed it can at least help indirectly, by forcing fundamental questions to be asked early on in the process. In our case, applying IS modeling revealed that nobody really knew from the outset what the target community was, nor what their actual needs were. This is a good illustration of the kind of effect IS can have on application development projects: making sure fundamental questions do not go unasked too long.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
