ArgLegalSumm: Improving Abstractive Summarization of Legal Documents with Argument Mining

Not on the map. Why?

Abstract (arXiv)

A challenging task when generating summaries of legal documents is the ability to address their argumentative nature. We introduce a simple technique to capture the argumentative structure of legal documents by integrating argument role labeling into the summarization process. Experiments with pretrained language models show that our proposed approach improves performance over strong baselines
