Contract Term Resolution Task

A Contract Term Resolution Task is a term resolution contract analysis task that identifies and resolves contract term references to their contract term definitions within contract documents.

• AKA: Contract Term Disambiguation Task, Contract Reference Resolution Task.
• Context:
  • It can typically process Contract Definition Sections to extract defined term lists.
  • It can typically scan Contract Body Text to identify term usage instances.
  • It can typically match Term References with corresponding term definitions using matching algorithms.
  • It can typically resolve Ambiguous Term References using contextual disambiguation techniques.
  • It can typically validate Term Consistency across contract sections.
  • ...
  • It can often handle Partial Term Matches through fuzzy matching algorithms.
  • It can often detect Missing Term Definitions for undefined term references.
  • It can often identify Circular Term Definitions creating definitional loops.
  • It can often track Term Variations including synonyms and abbreviations.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Contract Term Resolution Task to being a Complex Contract Term Resolution Task, depending on its resolution complexity.
  • It can range from being a Exact-Match Term Resolution Task to being a Semantic-Match Term Resolution Task, depending on its matching strategy.
  • It can range from being a Single-Document Term Resolution Task to being a Multi-Document Term Resolution Task, depending on its document scope.
  • It can range from being a Manual Term Resolution Task to being an Automated Term Resolution Task, depending on its automation level.
  • ...
  • Task Input: Contract Document, Term Reference List
    • Optional Input: Domain Ontology, Prior Definition Database
  • Task Output: Term-to-Definition Mapping, Unresolved Term List
  • Task Performance Measure: Resolution Accuracy, Resolution Coverage, Resolution Speed
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Contract Type Term Resolution Tasks, such as:
    • Commercial Contract Term Resolution Tasks, such as:
      • MSA Term Resolution Task for master service agreement terms.
      • License Agreement Term Resolution Task for software license terms.
    • Legal Contract Term Resolution Tasks, such as:
      • Employment Contract Term Resolution Task for employment terms.
      • Real Estate Contract Term Resolution Task for property terms.
  • Resolution Method Term Resolution Tasks, such as:
    • Pattern-Based Term Resolution Tasks using regex patterns.
    • ML-Based Term Resolution Tasks using machine learning models.
    • Hybrid Term Resolution Tasks combining rule-based methods and statistical methods.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • General Coreference Resolution Task, which resolves pronoun references rather than contract terms.
  • Entity Linking Task, which links to external knowledge bases rather than internal definitions.
  • Word Sense Disambiguation Task, which resolves lexical ambiguity rather than contractual term references.
