Application of Large Language Models to Legal Texts IG Coding

Stanisław Giziński and Bartosz Pieliński of the University of Warsaw will present at the January Institutional Grammar Research Initiative (IGRI) virtual research seminar.

Abstract:

This presentation focuses on the innovative application of Large Language Models (LLMs) to Institutional Grammar (IG) coding. It will provide a brief overview of LLMs, highlighting their potential as a solution for IG coding challenges. This presentation will argue for integrating LLMs in this domain by showing the current landscape of IG research, marked by diverse implementation strategies and a lack of standardized IG-code legal text corpus. Specifically, the utilization of the few-shot approach will be explored. In this method, LLMs are conditioned with a minimal set of IG-coded examples sufficient for the automated coding of legal documents. This approach will be evaluated using a selection of international conventions related to cultural heritage, climate change, and wildlife protection.
