Learning to Check Contract Inconsistencies

Contract consistency is important in ensuring the legal validity of contract. In many scenarios, a contract written by filling blanks precompiled form. Due to carelessness, two that should be filled with same (or different) content may incorrectly different same) content. This will result issue inconsistencies, which severely impair Traditional methods address this mainly rely on manual review, labor-intensive and costly. work, we formulate novel Inconsistency Checking (CIC) problem, design an end-to-end framework, called Pair-wise Blank Resolution (PBR), solve CIC problem high accuracy. Our PBR model contains BlankCoder challenge modeling meaningless blanks. adopts two-stage attention mechanism adequately associates blank its relevant descriptions while avoiding incorporation irrelevant context words. Experiments conducted real-world datasets show promising performance our method balanced accuracy 94.05% F1 score 90.90% problem.
