Bankruptcy support system: taking advantage of information retrieval and case-based reasoning

摘要

This paper is a presentation of an on-going work in which we attempt to take advantage of information retrieval (IR) and artificial intelligence techniques combined. It is an application of case-based reasoning (CBR) with an automatic indexing IR component in the legal domain of bankruptcy law. The model is based on our intuition of how lawyers go about doing their legal research and reasoning tasks in case law. We take advantage of the built-in knowledge contained in the carefully prepared statute text in a front-end processor and classification component to the CBR system. Our end result is an IR–CBR bankruptcy support system (BanXupport).
