additional remarks The analysis of legal data/text and the design and development of systems that provide valuable functionality to legal practitioners pose various challenges. These include noisy raw data that must be carefully preprocessed, ill-defined tasks for which only small datasets exist and for which learning supervision and evaluation is difficult to obtain, and domain-specific information of various kinds that must be taken into account at many stages of the process. This lab course provides students with an opportunity to gain practical experience in working with legal data data in small teams. The instructors will be offering projects centered around a research question/hypothesis. They will typically involve one or more datasets from a legal domain, one or more formal tasks, and one or more methods to be tried. Over the course of the semester, teams will develop an experimental system/prototype and evaluate it, thereby producing new insight about that hypothesis. Teams will meet with their mentor regularly and need to pass three milestones, for each of which they are expected to produce a progress report document and give a presentation to their peers. Students must have experience in machine learning and natural language processing. Prior passing of IN2395: Legal Data Science & Informatics is also strongly recommended. If a student has not taken IN2395, it is expected that they familiarize themselves with background materials relevant to their respective project.
