AI for Legal Problem Diagnosis in the Diverse Language of Australians

澳大利亚法律的需要得不到满足的人数估计每年超过400万人，而且还在增加，免费的法律的援助资源严重不足。免费法律的援助提供者的一个瓶颈是确定个人有什么（如果有的话）特定的法律的需求，为此，该项目建议开发人工智能模型来半自动化该过程，特别关注所有背景的用户之间的公平性，从少量的策划数据中进行概括，以及与寻求帮助者的动态交互。该项目将帮助向澳大利亚社会中一些最弱势的成员提供法律的援助，并加强澳大利亚在人工智能促进法律方面的世界领先地位。

The number of Australians with unmet legal needs is estimated to be over four million people per year and growing, and free legal assistance is severely under-resourced. A bottleneck for free legal assistance providers is the determination of what (if any) specific legal needs the individual has, to which end this project proposes to develop AI models to semi-automate the process, with particular focus on fairness across users of all backgrounds, generalisation from small amounts of curated data, and dynamic interaction with the help-seeker. The project will help deliver legal assistance to some of the most vulnerable members of Australian society, and reinforce Australia's position as a world leader in AI for Law.
