Introduction:

Welcome to the Extreme Multi-Label System for Portuguese Supreme Court Judgments! This system is designed to return legal index terms (labels) given a judgment.

Key Features:

1. The system comprises separate models for each of the nine sections of Supreme Court judgments, namely "Contencioso", "Sem secção", "1.ª Secção (Cível)", "2.ª Secção (Cível)", "3.ª Secção (Criminal)", "4.ª Secção (Social)", "5.ª Secção (Criminal)", "6.ª Secção (Cível)", and "7.ª Secção (Cível)". Each model is trained to identify and assign relevant labels (descriptors) specific to its respective section.
2. Paragraph labelling: We have trained a model (Bilstm with CRF) that gives for each paragraph of the judgment a label (zone of the judgment). We considered nine zones: "cabeçalho", "relatório", "delimitação", "fundamentação", "decisão", "colectivo", "declaração", "foot-notes" and "títulos.
