Ask HN: What would you do with 1.3M laws?

2 pointsby a3cameroabout 9 years ago
I'm the CTO of a law search engine that has 1.3 million laws from 47 countries. We're now wondering what else to do with our giant database of laws. What kind of text analysis could you run? ML algorithms? Clustering? What would be interesting for you to see as an experiment?

Depends how complete the corpus is, it would be interesting to compare language across laws in different countries to see if how similar they are and possibly detect the influence of lobbyists working on an international level.

These laws often make reference to other laws, right? I&#x27;d like to see the things referenced seamlessly merged in.<p>Also, it would be awesome if they could be presented in such a way that laymen could understand what laws actually mean. Legal meanings of words are often very different than the common meanings.
