MILDSum: A Novel Benchmark Dataset for Multilingual Summarization of Indian Legal Case Judgments (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | In the context of the Indian judiciary, there is an additional complexity - Indian legal case judgments are mostly written in complex English due to historical reasons, but a significant portion of India's population lacks a strong command of the English language. |
| Approach: | They propose to summarize Indian legal case judgments in English and Hindi by combining the summaries of 3,122 case judgment from Indian courts into one dataset. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset compares the summarization methods with other datasets and shows that the proposed approaches perform better than previous approaches. |

A Multilingual Parallel Corpora Collection Effort for Indian Languages (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Currently, neural network based approaches for machine translation are data hungry and sentence-level aligned parallel pairs are the currency. |
| Approach: | They propose to build sentence aligned parallel corpora across 10 Indian languages using online sources which have content shared across languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpora significantly extends existing resources that are either not large enough or are restricted to a specific domain (such as health). |
