This paper proposes a predictive modeling framework for classifying bail outcomes in Indian courts using the HLDC (Hindi Legal Document Corpus) dataset and IndicBERT, a transformer-based language model specialized for Indian languages. The study applies various machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) techniques to predict whether bail is “granted” or “denied.” The methodology utilizes TF-IDF for document summarization, alongside fine-tuning IndicBERT to capture legal-specific patterns and terminologies, thereby improving model accuracy.

摘要

This paper proposes a predictive modeling framework for classifying bail outcomes in Indian courts using the HLDC (Hindi Legal Document Corpus) dataset and IndicBERT, a transformer-based language model specialized for Indian languages. The study applies various machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) techniques to predict whether bail is “granted” or “denied.” The methodology utilizes TF-IDF for document summarization, alongside fine-tuning IndicBERT to capture legal-specific patterns and terminologies, thereby improving model accuracy. Extensive hyperparameter tuning further optimizes the model’s performance in legal text classification tasks.
