Abstract

This work deals with an analysis of using artificial intelligence and machine learning for statute prediction in the Indian legal domain. Furthermore, we try to identify the issues that limit the prediction performance and address them. Alongside the prediction task, we generate explanations for the predictions and compare the performance with a human expert. We reproduce as well as develop some methodologies for explainability. We further prepare an annotated dataset over the Indian legal domain that can be used for problems related to statute prediction and explainability. We discuss in detail the development of this dataset and its potential use-cases. Furthermore we discuss approaches to combine statute prediction task with explainability task and tackle it using different methods.
