The FIRE 2019 AILA track developed a framework to evaluate methods for retrieving relevant prior cases and statutes based on a factual scenario. The track’s goal was to benchmark two retrieval tasks: precedent retrieval and statute retrieval. The tasks used factual scenarios, statutes, and prior case documents sourced from the Indian Supreme Court.
The FIRE 2019 AILA track focused on creating a framework for evaluating different methods of retrieving relevant prior/precedent cases and statutes given a factual scenario. There were two tasks for this track: (i) Identifying relevant prior cases for a given situation (Precedent Retrieval), and (ii) Identifying most relevant statutes for a given situation (Statute Retrieval). Given a situation that can lead to filing a case, the precedent retrieval task aims at finding case documents where similar legal situations were addressed. The statute retrieval task aims at finding relevant statutes that are applicable to the situation. The factual scenarios, statutes and prior case documents used in the tasks were from the Indian Supreme Court judiciary.
