Improving Vietnamese Legal Document Retrieval using Synthetic Data
In the field of legal information retrieval, effective embedding-based models are essential for accurate question-answering systems. However, the scarcity of large annotated datasets poses a significant challenge, particularly for Vietnamese legal texts. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach that leverages large language models to generate high-quality, diverse synthetic queries for Vietnamese legal passages. This synthetic data is then used to pre-train retrieval models, specifically bi-encoder and ColBERT, which are further fine-tuned using contrastive loss with mined hard negatives. Our experiments demonstrate that these enhancements lead to strong improvement in retrieval accuracy, validating the effectiveness of synthetic data and pre-training techniques in overcoming the limitations posed by the lack of large labeled datasets in the Vietnamese legal domain.
