ECtHR-PCR: A Dataset for Precedent Understanding and Prior Case Retrieval in the European Court of Human Rights (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Prior case retrieval datasets do not simulate a realistic setting because they use complete case documents while only masking references to prior cases. |
| Approach: | They propose a prior case retrieval dataset based on judgements from the European Court of Human Rights which explicitly separate facts from arguments and exhibit precedential practices. |
| Outcome: | The proposed datasets do not simulate a realistic setting and expose queries to spurious patterns left behind by citation masks, potentially short-circuiting a comprehensive understanding of case facts and legal principles. |
