 ### Dataset Summary
 
-[More Information Needed]
+German Legal Sentences (GLS) is an automatically generated training dataset for semantic sentence matching and citation recommendation in the domain in german legal documents. It follows the concept of weak supervision, where imperfect labels are generated using multiple heuristics. For this purpose we use a combination of legal citation matching and BM25 similarity. The contained sentences and their citations are parsed from real judicial decisions provided by [Open Legal Data](http://openlegaldata.io/) (https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.13342).

 #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
 
-[More Information Needed]
+The documents we take from [Open Legal Data](http://openlegaldata.io/) (https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.13342) are first preprocessed by removing line breaks, enumeration characters and headings. Afterwards we parse legal citations using hand-crafted regular expressions. Each citation is split into it components and normalized, thus different variants of the same citation are matched together. For instance, "§211 Absatz 1 des Strafgesetzbuches" is normalized to "§ 211 Abs. 1 StGB". Every time we discover an unknown citation, we assign an unique id to it. We use these ids to replace parsed citations in the document text with a simple reference tag containing this id (e.g `[REF321]`). At the same time we parse dates and replace them with the date tag `[DATE]`. Both remove dots which can may be confused with the end of a sentence, which makes the next stage easier.
+
+We use [SoMaJo](https://github.com/tsproisl/SoMaJo) to perform sentence tokenizing on the pre-processed documents. Each sentence that does not contain at least one legal citation is discarded. For the rest we assign sentence ids, remove all reference ids from them as well as any contents in braces (braces often contain large enumerations of citations and their sources). At the same time we keep track of the corresponding document from which a sentence originates and which references occur in it.
