Detecting Logical Relation In Contract Clauses
  Contracts underlie most modern commercial transactions defining define the
duties and obligations of the related parties in an agreement. Ensuring such
agreements are error free is crucial for modern society and their analysis of a
contract requires understanding the logical relations between clauses and
identifying potential contradictions. This analysis depends on error-prone
human effort to understand each contract clause. In this work, we develop an
approach to automate the extraction of logical relations between clauses in a
contract. We address this problem as a Natural Language Inference task to
detect the entailment type between two clauses in a contract. The resulting
approach should help contract authors detecting potential logical conflicts
between clauses.
