چکیده
The FIRE 2017 IRLeD Track focused on creating a framework for evaluating different methods of Information Retrieval from legal documents. Therewere two tasks for this track: (i) Catchphrase Extraction task, and (ii) Precedence Retrieval task. In the catchphrase extraction task, the participants had to extract catchphrases (legal keywords) from Indian Supreme Court case documents. In the second task of Precedence Retrieval, the participants were to retrieve relevant or cite-able documents for particular Indian SupremeCourt cases from a set of prior case documents.
