A novel approach to predicting confusing charges in legal AI is introduced, which leverages domain knowledge and attention mechanisms to improve model performance. The From Graph to Word Bag (FWGB) method constructs a legal knowledge graph containing constituent elements that guide the selection of keywords for each charge. This word bag is used to expand the attention mechanism, introducing a new loss function with attention supervision through words in the word bag. The approach demonstrates exceptional performance, particularly in imbalanced label distributions, and outperforms existing methods on a dataset constructed from real-world judicial documents.

In this paper, researchers are trying to make computers better at understanding what’s happening when people commit crimes. They’re working on a special problem called “confusing charges,” where it’s hard to decide which charge is the right one because of subtle differences between them. The new approach they came up with uses something like a dictionary or a set of rules to help the computer figure out what’s important in each case. It seems to work really well, especially when there are more cases on one side than another.
