Subject: PC based text systems for law
...
I'm about to enter law school, and I was wondering about PC Based text systems
related to law. I suppose case tracking and citation retrieval are important.
Can anyone suggest where I should look for such programs?
Thanks in Advance,
Chris Seline

Subject: legal text and IR
Does anyone know of any collections of legal text used for
IR? I already know about the work that Carole Hafner did
for her dissertation, and the work Carey deBessonet is
doing at Louisiana State.
Thanks,

[Note: I asked a few questions regarding the above request that
prompted the message below - Ed.]
Ed,
I'm in the process of assembling an online bibliography of
my reports. I'll send you a list of whatever I have on
Legal IR (AI and Law is one of my major interests; the
paper I wrote for my Master's degree was about Knowledge
Representation and Legal Concepts).
I was at the Int'l Conference on AI and Law. I think
you can get the proceeding through ACM.
Best,
Bob

Dear Professor Fox,
In connection with the request of information of Richard Pollard,
I would like to say that if any person is going to send an answer to Pollard, th
at
I would be also be interested in having the answers to his two questions.
Thank you.

Subject: IRList inquiry by R. Pollard
Ed, with regard to Pollard's inquiry in IRList Digest regarding graphical
display of MeSH, the appended are a couple of recent publications by
researchers who are participating in NLM's Unified Medical Language System
project as contractors. MicroMeSH is written in DataTree Standard MUMPS.
The tool for authoring and browsing semantic networks is written in KEE
and Interlisp-D. --Susanne

Subject: NLP and IR
In reply to the query on NLP and IR by James Borynec in IRLIST Digest 4.17:
We have a group here at University of Massachusetts, Amherst, headed by
Bruce Croft, working on NLP for IR. Nehru Bhandaru and I focus on
on-line NLP analysis of queries and documents, while Bob Krovetz is
concentrating on NLP analysis of documents for indexing. There's an article
by myself, Bruce, and Nehru that will be appearing in International Journal
of Intelligent Systems later this year which will contain a survey on NLP
for IR, as well as preliminary results on our experiments with making use of
hand-built semantic representations of queries and documents to improve
retrieval performance. Results are encouraging, but it's worth
saying that building semantic representations is not an instant cure-all for
IR. We're currently working with a parser called TRUMP built by Paul Jacobs
at GE, but we're always interested in hearing about any robust, Common LISP
parsers that people know to be available. We've also got the on-line Longman
dictionary and are working on hooking that up to TRUMP.
The following is a list of references of applications of NLP to IR.
Most of them are cited in our IJIS article as well. Hope these help--sorry
for the messy BIBTEX format.
