Legal Judgment Prediction, Multi-Model Approach, Knowledge Integration TechniquesAbstract
This paper presents a multi-model approach to legal judgment prediction, emphasizing the integration of advanced knowledge techniques to enhance predictive accuracy and interpretability. As the volume of legal data continues to grow, traditional prediction methods often fall short in capturing the complexities of legal reasoning and case outcomes. By combining various modeling strategies, including rule-based systems and machine learning algorithms, this research demonstrates how a multi-model framework can leverage the strengths of different methodologies to provide more reliable predictions. Furthermore, the incorporation of knowledge integration techniques, such as knowledge graphs and Large Language Models (LLM), enriches the predictive models by offering contextual insights and improving feature selection. The findings indicate that this innovative approach not only improves the accuracy of legal predictions but also fosters transparency and trust among legal practitioners. Ultimately, this study lays the groundwork for future research in legal judgment prediction, advocating for the continued exploration of hybrid models and the application of emerging technologies to address the evolving challenges within the legal landscape.
