Improving Legal Entity Recognition Using a Hybrid Transformer Model and Semantic Filtering Approach

2024-10-11 · Duraimurugan Rajamanickam

Legal Entity Recognition (LER) is critical in automating legal workflows such as contract analysis, compliance monitoring, and litigation support. Existing approaches, including rule-based systems and classical machine learning models, struggle with the complexity of legal documents and domain specificity, particularly in handling ambiguities and nested entity structures. This paper proposes a novel hybrid model that enhances the accuracy and precision of Legal-BERT, a transformer model fine-tuned for legal text processing, by introducing a semantic similarity-based filtering mechanism. We evaluate the model on a dataset of 15,000 annotated legal documents, achieving an F1 score of 93.4%, demonstrating significant improvements in precision and recall over previous methods.
