AI pipeline enhances legal retrieval in Saudi Arabian courts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a Decompose-and-Refine (DaR) pipeline to improve statutory article retrieval from Arabic judicial narratives, specifically for Saudi Arabian family law and law of evidence. This pipeline utilizes a large language model to break down legal cases into disputed issues and generate targeted retrieval channels. The DaR approach significantly boosted retrieval performance, achieving an MRR@10 of 0.696 for the Law of Evidence and 0.864 for Family Law, outperforming non-decomposed systems. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates a novel application of LLMs for improving legal document retrieval, potentially streamlining legal research and analysis in Arabic-speaking jurisdictions.
