Amazing work. As someone doing self-funded web dev, how do you find the time to work on this? Is this a resume booster, a product/prototype, or just a passion of love? To say the least this is groundbreaking.
I love your technical explanations, even tho I started skimming there. It appears this is all built on modern embedding algorithms, plus traditional ML clustering magic. Now that you have the basic data, have you thought about using full generative models for semantic analysis? Ie “write summaries of this subset of cases and tag them with specific situations or intricacies”, and then do clustering on that? I feel like that’s the natural next computational step, and surely (hopefully?) what the many millions/billions of dollars worth of SWEs that were put to work applying LLMs to case law over the past year in America are up to.
The very best projects on here are ones where I’m tempted to ask to collaborate, even though I know I’m already booked up with work through the horizon! I’ll have to console myself with a comment and a very prestigious place in my “inspirations” bookmark folder :)

- bbor 3y agoWOW ok, thanks so much for doing my homework for me! I guess I just have to look into a high level government position that encourages me to follow my own interests, easy peasy…
