Exploiting the Rich Document Structures and Network Topology of Legal Information Systems

چکیده
The move toward on-line publishing of legal documents in the public domain has made extra information available by way of mark-up for electronic publishing. Legal Concepts that were once implicit in documents are now explicit and further inferences can now be drawn through computation however the quality and extent of this information varies. This paper discusses the application of web techniques to the legal system for the ranking of related legal concepts. We demonstrate how these techniques can be adapted and applied to the legal system and how strategies can be used to optimize the best combination of techniques depending on the quality of the source information. Courts and legislatures create and distribute laws through documents that serve as the primary sources of law within legal systems. With the increase in on-line publishing, these documents are being marked-up with greater quantities of information particularly with links to other related sources within the legal system.

Adaptive Neural Network Method for Consensus Tracking of High-Order Mimo Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems
This paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order MIMO nonlinear multi-agent systems. The agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. The communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. A distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...
متن کاملFurther study on $(L,M)$-fuzzy topologies and $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood systems
Following the idea of $L$-fuzzy neighborhood system as introduced byFu-Gui Shi, and its generalization to $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood system, the relationship between $(L,M)$-fuzzy topology and $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood system will be further studied. As an application of the obtained results, we will describe the initial structures of $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood subspaces and $(L,M)$-fuzzy top...
متن کاملCascaded Multilevel Inverter Based on Quasi-Z-Source Converter: Analysis, Design and Study of Optimal Structures
In this paper, a new topology for cascaded multilevel inverter based on quasi-Z-source converter is proposed. In the proposed topology the magnitude of output DC voltage is not limited to the sum of magnitude of DC voltage sources. Moreover, the reliability of the circuit due to capability of short circuit by Z-source network is increased. The quasi-Z- source converter in different modes is ana...
متن کاملImproved Skips for Faster Postings List Intersection
Information retrieval can be achieved through computerized processes by generating a list of relevant responses to a query. The document processor, matching function and query analyzer are the main components of an information retrieval system. Document retrieval system is fundamentally based on: Boolean, vector-space, probabilistic, and language models. In this paper, a new methodology for mat...
