Check out the amazing program put out together by the chairs of Prolala 2024 ! ▶️ #program" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">2024.splashcon.org/home/prolala-2… To attend in person or virtually on Monday, Oct 22nd, go ahead and register to the conference : 2024.splashcon.org/attending/Regi…. Early rate expire Sept 20th ! 😱

Out now: the Special Issue on THE FUTURE OF COMPUTATIONAL LAW, a series of position papers by thought leaders in the domain: @sarahlawsky @lyria1 @DMerigoux @sayashk Peter Henderson @random_walker @NatalieByrom @florisbex @FrankPasquale @JcMalgieri journalcrcl.org/crcl/issue/vie… 1/

Check the newest issue of @journalcrcl: “The Future of Computational Law” here: journalcrcl.org/crcl/issue/vie… I had the privilege to get early access to these position papers while working in the production team with @DMerigoux. Excited that they are now out for everyone to read! :)

@IrisVanRooij @mireillemoret @fborgesius Experts in LLM engineering and experts in legal reasoning typically have a different understanding of what a legal 'fact' is. This leads to a confusion on what can be automated. (see e.g. the @CoHuBiCoL1 Typology of Legal Technologies & link.springer.com/article/10.100… by @JudgyLinguist)

Curious what other legal experts think @mireillemoret @fborgesius (no need to respond; I know you are no longer on twitter/X, which is wiser than me :) ).

Very unwise to use LLMs for this. Use instead a carefully designed algorithm that is developed for this specific purpose with a transparant specification that is legally validated and provably correct.

The COHUBICOL website has now been updated with an overview of the results of the project, in terms of goals and objectives, novel methodologies and key achievements. Enjoy the outcome, engage with the output and do not hesitate to spread the word: cohubicol.com/about/COHUBICO…

We kick off the #CRCL2023 conference, after @mireillemoret’s opening remarks, with @MCBRIDEPAULINE and @laurencediver’s presentation of their draft @CoHuBiCoL1 research study on Computational Law - which is online now & open for comments at cohubicol.com/about/conferen…. Check it out!

Key draft version: @MCBRIDEPAULINE and @laurencediver, building on the Research Study on Text-Driven Law, apply the findings to both data- and code-driven legal technologies, incorporating the insights gleaned from the Typology of Legal Technologies cohubicol.com/assets/uploads…

@VUBrussel ERC Advanced project @CoHuBiCoL1 led by @mireillemoret draws to an end with a conference aimed at bringing scientists from computational sciences and law together, to discuss the state of law and ethics when applying these technologies. press.vub.ac.be/legal-tech-und…

I’m very excited that @CoHuBiCoL1’s organizing a hybrid event with @FleurEJ about her new book #Help on digital humanitarianism on March 24th (15:30-17:00 CET). The discussant will be @ddogot, and it will be moderated by @mireillemoret!

@mireillemoret @craigaatkinson @Xalgorithms @CoHuBiCoL1 @laurencediver @craigaatkinson is correct in pointing to the Regelspraak token for comparison. Akoma Ntoso (as a cross-jurisdictional standard) is also relevant in the context of @jrpotvin's work. My instinct is that between those two tokens, the typology invites plenty of relevant Qs for DWDS

@craigaatkinson @Xalgorithms @CoHuBiCoL1 @paulus0 @laurencediver anything so delightfully new that it escapes the types we have elicited?

☑️ Update - Download Version 1.0.0 of the @Xalgorithms White Paper (Data With Direction: Design research leading to a system specification for ‘an Internet of Rules’) as completed by Joseph Potvin (@jrpotvin) for his doctoral thesis (summa cum laude): xalgorithms.org/white-paper

Promovenda Marte Sophie Meessen is de ‘Face of Science’ geworden! Ze zal ons meenemen in haar onderzoek door blogs te schrijven, om te laten zien hoe wetenschap in de praktijk werkt. Meer informatie vind je hier: bit.ly/3YBNCaN.

Toch best leuk zo'n shoutout! Veel dank @jimfjansen en @Dolfjansen voor het interview, de scherpzinnigheid en jullie altijd mooie producties! #Promovenda-z

I’m very proud of this publication. It was a true labour of love of the whole @CoHuBiCoL1 team and took a lot of hard work. However, it is difficult to overstate the incredible efforts of esp. @laurencediver, @MCBRIDEPAULINE & @JudgyLinguist over the last few months! #CRCL22

Curious to know the technical underpinnings of our Typology of Legal Technologies (that will be published this Thursday)? Great work of @Laurencediver and the entire @CoHuBiCoL1 team @eb_vdhoven @Gianmarco_Gori @TatDuarte @paulus0 @JudgyLinguist Desara Dushi and Eva D’hondt

Very soon at 16:15 CET I will defence my PhD 'Identification, categorisation and forecasting of court decisions' at the University of Groningen. It is possible to follow online: rug.nl/about-ug/lates…

Here, fixed it.

The most fascinating postdoc position between Law and CS: a treat for those aiming for excellence in CS while contributing to protection of the rule of law and fundamental rights. ru.nl/werken-bij/vac…

@gannimo @herbertbos Those are important distractions! The history of @cryptojedi's foosball table can be tracked in the acknowledgements of many theses from @RadboudSecurity.

@herbertbos Not bragging but some groups had arcade cabinets for years 👾👾👾😉

Moreover, we have ordered an arcade cabinet!

We're delighted to launch the first iteration of our first Working Paper on Text-Driven Normativity Authored by @mireillemoret, @laurencediver, @eb_vdhoven, @TatDuarte, and @Gianmarco_Gori publications.cohubicol.com/working-papers…
