Analysis of COLIEE Information Retrieval Task Data

摘要

The Competition on Legal Information Extraction/ Entailment (COLIEE) involves the legal question answering task. The information retrieval task for finding relevant articles to questions is one of the subtasks in COLIEE. In this paper, we compare the characteristics of the test data provided in two different language (English and Japanese) and analyze topic difficulty based on the submission data by using the retrieval results of Indri, a state-of-the-art information retrieval system. We also discuss issues relating to the design of new COLIEE information retrieval tasks.
