Checking the Statutes in Chinese Judgment Document Based on Editing Distance Algorithm.

With the continuous advancement of the informatization of the Chinese People's Court, the court's view on the extraction and application of information has not only been on the structured data, but also for the semi-structured and unstructured data. In the process of in-depth study of the judgment document, many cases require the collection of the document result as an important data dimension, and the key is that the statute is the core of the whole result, so the integrity and correctness of the statute obtained has played a key role for the process of the judgment document processing. However, in the process of writing a specific judgment document, the same statute has different string forms due to the diversity of writing, which leads directly to the error data source. Comparing the editing distance between the strings can judge the similarity of them to a certain extent. Therefore, an automatic method based on the editing distance algorithm is devised, which constructs the disparity model between different statutes strings, to obtain the standardized writing of the same type data. Using this method can remove the non-standard writing of statutes, and ultimately access to the standard statutes collection. This method has a higher efficiency than the method of enumerating all the writing circumstances, which needs the manual participation, additional data storage and update.
