Beining Wang, Ruizhe Zhang, Yueyue Wu, Qingyao Ai, Min Zhang, Yiqun Liu

AI总结:

本研究首次探究法律案例检索系统对法律用户决策的影响,通过90余人参与的在线用户研究发现,检索结果分布会影响用户的案件判决判断,有偏的严苛结果会导致用户判决更严厉,凸显了优化检索系统无偏性的重要性。

摘要:

针对特定查询案例,法律案例检索系统旨在检索一组与手头案件相关的案例文档。以往的用户行为分析研究表明,信息检索(IR)系统可通过以不同顺序和格式呈现结果,显著影响用户的决策。然而,这种影响在法律案例检索中是否存在,目前仍 largely 未知。本研究首次探究了法律案例检索系统对法律从业者决策过程的影响。我们开展了一项有90余名参与者参与的在线用户研究,研究结果表明,法律案例检索系统的结果分布确实会影响用户对案例判决的判断。值得注意的是,当用户看到包含更严厉判决的有偏结果时,他们也倾向于对当前案件作出更严厉的判决。本研究强调了优化法律案例检索系统无偏性的重要性。

英文摘要:

Given a specific query case, legal case retrieval systems aim to retrieve a set of case documents relevant to the case at hand. Previous studies on user behavior analysis have shown that information retrieval (IR) systems can significantly influence users' decisions by presenting results in varying orders and formats. However, whether such influence exists in legal case retrieval remains largely unknown. This study presents the first investigation into the influence of legal case retrieval systems on the decision-making process of legal users. We conducted an online user study involving more than ninety participants, and our findings suggest that the result distribution of legal case retrieval systems indeed affect users' judgements on the sentences in cases. Notably, when users are presented with biased results that involve harsher sentences, they tend to impose harsher sentences on the current case as well. This research highlights the importance of optimizing the unbiasedness of legal case retrieval systems.
