论文摘要
审查和理解法律合同中的关键义务，权利和禁令可能是一项繁琐的任务，因为它们的长度和特定于领域。此外，需要审查的关键权利和义务因每个缔约方而异。在这项工作中，我们提出了一项针对法律合同的特定方提取性摘要的新任务，以促进更快的审查和改善对权利和义务的理解。为了促进这一点，我们策划了一个数据集，其中包括法律专家注释的政党特定成对重要性比较，涵盖了〜293K句子对，其中包括从租赁协议中提取的义务，权利和禁令。使用此数据集，我们培训了成对的重要性排名，并提出了一个基于管道的提取摘要系统，该系统生成了特定于方的合同摘要。我们确定了使用自动和人类评估方法将系统与各种基线进行比较，以在汇总过程中纳入特定领域的重要性概念
Reviewing and comprehending key obligations, entitlements, and prohibitions in legal contracts can be a tedious task due to their length and domain-specificity. Furthermore, the key rights and duties requiring review vary for each contracting party. In this work, we propose a new task of party-specific extractive summarization for legal contracts to facilitate faster reviewing and improved comprehension of rights and duties. To facilitate this, we curate a dataset comprising of party-specific pairwise importance comparisons annotated by legal experts, covering ~293K sentence pairs that include obligations, entitlements, and prohibitions extracted from lease agreements. Using this dataset, we train a pairwise importance ranker and propose a pipeline-based extractive summarization system that generates a party-specific contract summary. We establish the need for incorporating domain-specific notion of importance during summarization by comparing our system against various baselines using both automatic and human evaluation methods
