How can you sift through thousands of legal texts over the years and find what you want when you want it? How quickly can you categorize the new ministerial decisions issued every day and regulate hundreds of issues? For lawyers who want to do their job properly and quickly, these are extremely important tasks. But apparently, they’re also extremely time-consuming and, let’s face it, often boring.

Nomiki Bibliothiki, the most innovative organization for producing, processing, and distributing legal content, and Science For You (SciFY), a non-profit company with extensive experience in Artificial Intelligence applications, have collaborated and created a highly intelligent system that helps lawyers by categorizing the legal documents automatically, with the help of Artificial Intelligence.

Stavroula Fikari, head of content at Nomiki Bibliothiki’s Qualex legal content platform, said: “This is a success story that came from an excellent partnership. SciFY offered the expertise of digital transformation with the power of Artificial Intelligence, and Nomiki Bibliothiki the breadth and depth of legal knowledge. The common goal set early on was clear: to make a substantial digital transformation to create added value. The results justified our decision.

With this investment, we achieve significant benefits for the company and our clients: we save time that, until now, the staff dedicated to the thematic classification of legislation and their enrichment with metadata. Our productivity increased significantly. Thus, we can now focus more on the most essential parts of our work, where having a human eye is important. In addition, the position of Nimiki Bibliothiki as a provider of legal information services is strengthened. We will continue to invest in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies and be pioneers in the field to offer value-added services to our customers.”

Alexandros Tzoumas, CTO of SciFY, said: “We saw the whole process from the beginning. We didn’t want to create a complex system that would remain on the shelf but something that would bring results from day one. It was evident early on that the problem we were asked to face was clear: Simply put, we had to create a robot assistant that would go through thousands of texts, see what they refer to, and categorize them. It will suggest “tags” that will make searching and matching easier.

So, we developed an Artificial Intelligence system, and more specifically, machine learning algorithms. The algorithms were trained to extract the topic and related tags from the documents in order to classify them and add metadata to make them easier to search. The above were integrated into the existing services of Nomiki Bibliothiki.

Simply put, we worked with the excellent staff at Nomiki Bibliothiki to create the robot assistant, train it, and put it to work. The results excited us all! It is another proof of how digital transformation with the power of Artificial Intelligence can immediately bring practical usable results. We will continue to innovate in partnership with Nomiki Bibliothiki and highlight the possibilities that Artificial Intelligence brings to the economy and everyone’s lives!”
