It is a challenging task for algorithms, especially in the legal domain, considering the complex and different sentence structures used. In this work, we curated a diverse multilingual legal dataset consisting of over 130'000 annotated sentences in 6 languages. Our experimental results indicate that the performance of existing SBD models is subpar on multilingual legal data. We trained and tested monolingual and multilingual models based on CRF, BiLSTM-CRF, and transformers, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance. We also show that our multilingual models outperform all baselines in the zero-shot setting on a Portuguese test set. To encourage further research and development by the community, we have made our dataset, models, and code publicly available.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Nineteenth International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Law}, pages = {42–51}, numpages = {10}, keywords = {Natural Language Processing, Sentence Boundary Detection, Text Annotation, Legal Document Analysis, Multilingual}, location = {Braga, Portugal}, series = {ICAIL '23} } ``` ### Contributions [More Information Needed]
