    A transformer-based prior legal case retrieval method
    (IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2023-08-28) Öztürk, Ceyhun Emre; Özçelik, Şemsi Barış; Koç, Aykut
    In this work, BERTurk-Legal, a transformer-based language model, is introduced to retrieve prior legal cases. BERTurk-Legal is pre-trained on a dataset from the Turkish legal domain. This dataset does not contain any labels related to the prior court case retrieval task. Masked language modeling is used to train BERTurk-Legal in a self-supervised manner. With zero-shot classification, BERTurk-Legal provides state-of-the-art results on the dataset consisting of legal cases of the Court of Cassation of Turkey. The results of the experiments show the necessity of developing language models specific to the Turkish law domain.
