Deep Learning Simplified Repository (Proposing new issue)

🔴 Project Title : Automated Legal Document Summarizer


🔴 Aim : Create a model that can read and summarize lengthy legal documents, preserving the key legal points and clauses.

🔴 Dataset : collected from diverse sources to ensure a variety and contents for comprehensive testing.

🔴 Approach : Approach:

Use a pre-trained transformer model fine-tuned on a legal text dataset.
Incorporate Named Entity Recognition (NER) to identify and highlight important entities (e.g., names, dates, legal terms).
Evaluate the summaries for accuracy and completeness by comparing them to human-generated summaries.

📍 Follow the Guidelines to Contribute in the Project :

• You need to create a separate folder named as the Project Title.
• Inside that folder, there will be four main components.
  • Images - To store the required images.
  • Dataset - To store the dataset or, information/source about the dataset.
  • Model - To store the machine learning model you've created using the dataset.
  • requirements.txt - This file will contain the required packages/libraries to run the project in other machines.
• Inside the Model folder, the README.md file must be filled up properly, with proper visualizations and conclusions.

@abhisheks008 plz assign me this issue

Hi @anushkasaxena07 it'll be better to focus on one issue at a time.

Also in the approach part name of the proposed models/architectures are missing. Can you put some clarification on the same?

[anushkasaxena07]

Proposed Models/Architectures:
BERTSUM: A variant of BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) specifically designed for extractive summarization.
T5 (Text-To-Text Transfer Transformer): A versatile model that can be fine-tuned for summarization tasks by framing them as text-to-text problems.
PEGASUS: A model designed for abstractive summarization with a focus on generating high-quality summaries.
Longformer: A transformer model designed to handle long documents, making it suitable for summarizing lengthy legal texts.
Tools: Hugging Face Transformers, TensorFlow, PyTorch

Approach for this Project :
For the Automated Legal Document Summarizer project, I plan to use LegalBERT for extractive summarization and models like T5 and BART for abstractive summarization, fine-tuned on legal datasets to ensure domain specificity. Evaluation will be conducted using metrics such as ROUGE and BLEU
