Meeting Description:
Eighth International Workshop on
Juris-informatics (JURISIN 2014)
http://www.jaist.ac.jp/org/jurisin2014/
November 23-24, 2014
Raiosha Building, Keio University Kanagawa,
Japan
Aims and Scope:
Juris-informatics is a new research area which
studies legal issues from the perspective of
informatics. The purpose of this workshop is to
discuss both the fundamental and practical
issues among people from the various
backgrounds such as law, social science,
information and intelligent technology, logic
and philosophy, including the conventional 'AI
and law' area.
Topics:
Relevant topics include, but are not limited
to, the following:
- Model of legal reasoning
- Argumentation / Negotiation / Argumentation
agent
- Legal term ontology
- Formal legal knowledge-base / Intelligent
management of legal knowledge-base
- Translation of legal documents
- Information retrieval of legal texts
- Computer-aided law education
- Use of Informatics and AI in law
- Legal issues on ubiquitous computing /
multi-agent system / the Internet
- Social implications of use of informatics and
AI in law
- Natural language processing for legal
knowledge
- Verification and validation of legal
knowledge systems
- Any theories and technologies which is not
directly related with juris-informatics but has
a potential to contribute to this domain
- Bar exam competition
This year, JURISIN invites participation in a
legal information extraction and entailment
competition. Previous conferences/workshops
have not conducted such a shared task on a
large legal data collection, so we hope that
the 2014 workshop will help establish a major
experimental effort in the legal information
extraction/retrieval field. The motivation for
the competition is to help create a research
community of practice for the capture and use
of legal information.
Please visit the homepage of the bar exam
competition.

Workshop on Juris-informatics (JURISIN)
2014:
Submissions:
We solicit unpublished papers on theories,
technologies and applications on
juris-informatics. We will open the submission
site via EasyChair shortly.
We welcome and encourage the submission of high
quality, original papers, which are not
simultaneously submitted for publication
elsewhere except as a submission to JURIX 2014
(The 27th International Conference on Legal
Knowledge and Information Systems). The double
submission policy with JURIX 2014 is as
follows:
Papers being submitted both to JURISIN2014 and
JURIX2014 must note this on the title page.
A paper to be presented at JURISIN2014 must be
withdrawn from JURIX2014 and vice versa
according to the choice by the authors. If the
authors do not follow this double submission
policy, the paper by the authors will not be
included in the proceedings of JURISIN
2014.
Important Dates:
Submission deadline: September 10, 2014
Workshop: November 23-24, 2014
Post Proceedings:
The selected papers of the previous workshops
were published as volumes of LNAI4914(JURISIN
2007), LNAI5447(JURISIN 2008), LNAI6284(JURISIN
2009) , LNAI6797(JURISIN2010),
LNAI7258(JURISIN2011) ,LNAI7856(JURISIN2012)
and LNAI(JURISIN 2013) respectively.
In addition, the authors have an opportunity to
submit their full versions to the special issue
of Journal of New Generation Computing. The
detail will be announced soon.
Competition on Legal Information
Extraction/Entailment (COLIEE-14):
As an associated event of International
Workshop on Juris-informatics (JURISIN) 2014,
we are happy to announce a competition of legal
information extraction and entailment derived
from Japanese bar exams. We hope that the 2014
workshop will help establish a major
experimental effort in the legal
information extraction/retrieval field. The
motivation for the competition is to help
create a research community of practice for the
capture and use of legal information.
There are two tasks in the competition. One is
to extract articles from Japanese civil code
which contributes to solving a bar exam yes/no
question and the other is to check entailment
of a question from given civil code article(s).
If we could combine these methods, we could
solve a bar exam question as a whole. Detailed
description can be found in the above URL.
All the data are available both in Japanese and
English (translation from Japanese bar exams
and civil code). And you can choose either (or
both) of them to accomplish the above
tasks.
As noted above, the intention is to start to
build a community of practice regarding legal
textual entailment, so that the adoption and
adaptation of general methods from a variety of
fields is considered, and that participants
share their approaches, problems, and
results.
We require participants to submit a paper on
their method and experimental results using
training corpus to JURISIN 2014 workshop in
accordance with an instruction specified at
http://www.jaist.ac.jp/org/jurisin2014/
and to present the paper at the special session
of JURISIN 2014.
These papers will be reviewed in the same way
of usual submission to JURISIN 2014 and an
extended version could be submitted to an LNAI
post-proceeding of JSAI-IsAI2014 (the name of
symposium in which JURISIN 2014 is included).
The selected paper will be published in the
LNAI post-proceedings.
Important Dates:
Training corpus available: July 21, 2014
Test queries available: August 21, 2014
Results submission deadline: August 28,
2014
Paper submission deadline: September 10,
2014
JURISIN 2014 Workshop and assessments returned
