New Corpus and Transformer Model Detect Metaphors in Hindi Legal Texts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method for detecting metaphors in Hindi legal documents, a task previously unaddressed due to a lack of annotated data for low-resource languages. They created the Hindi Legal Metaphor Corpus (HiLeMe) by annotating judgments from the Hindi Legal Data Corpus (HLDC) using the MIPVU schema. A multilingual BERT model was fine-tuned for this task, and a transformer-based architecture was implemented, demonstrating superior performance over traditional models in legal classification. AI

IMPACT Advances NLP capabilities for low-resource languages, potentially improving legal discourse analysis and judicial decision-making.
