Exploration of Deep-Learning-Based Approaches for False Fact Identification in Social Judicial Systems

With the many applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in social judicial systems, false fact identification becomes a challenging issue when the system is expected to be more autonomous and intelligent in assisting a judicial review. In particular, private lending disputes often involve false facts that are intentionally concealed and manipulated due to unique and dynamic relationships and their nonconfrontational nature in the judicial system. In this article, we investigate deep learning techniques to identify false facts in loan cases for the purpose of reducing the judicial workload. Specifically, we adapt deep-learning-based natural language processing techniques to a dataset over 100 real-world judicial rules spanning four courts of different levels in China. The BERT (bidirectional encoder representations from transformers)-based classifier and T5 text generation models were trained to classify false litigation claims semantically. The experimental results demonstrate that T5 has a robust learning capability with a small number of legal text samples, outperforms BERT in identifying falsified facts, and provides explainable decisions to judges. This research shows that deep-learning-based false fact identification approaches provide promising solutions for addressing concealed information and manipulation in private lending lawsuits. This highlights the feasibility of deep learning to strengthen fact-finding and reduce labor costs in the judicial field.
