Predicting associated statutes for legal problems

作者:

Highlights:

• In the legal domain, this method for statute prediction is a new research topic.

• We predict relevant statutes for the problem described by everyday vocabulary.

• The gap between lay terms and legal terms was remedied without using a synopsis.

• Employing the Normalized Google Distance, SVM and Apriori algorithms into TPP.

• The result shows the performance of TPP is accurately and effectively.
