- QUOTE: As an associated event of ICAIL 2023, we are happy to announce the 10th Competition on Legal Information Extraction and Entailment (COLIEE-2023).
- Four tasks are included in the 2023 competition: Tasks 1 and 2 are about the case law competition, and tasks 3 and 4 are about the statute law competition. Task 1 is a legal case retrieval task, and it involves reading a new case Q, and extracting supporting cases S1, S2, ..., Sn from the provided case law corpus, to support the decision for Q. Task 2 is the legal case entailment task, which involves the identification of a paragraph from existing cases that entails the decision of a new case. As in previous COLIEE competitions, Task 3 is to consider a yes/no legal question Q and retrieve relevant statutes from a database of Japanese civil code statutes; Task 4 is to confirm entailment of a yes/no answer from the retrieved civil code statutes.
