| contents | Legal case retrieval plays a pivotal role in the legal domain by facilitating the efficient identification of relevant cases, supporting legal professionals and researchers to propose legal arguments and make informed decision-making. To improve retrieval accuracy, the Competition on Legal Information Extraction and Entailment (COLIEE) is held annually, offering updated benchmark datasets for evaluation. This paper presents a detailed description of CaseLink, the method employed by UQLegalAI, the second highest team in Task 1 of COLIEE 2025. The CaseLink model utilises inductive graph learning and Global Case Graphs to capture the intrinsic case connectivity to improve the accuracy of legal case retrieval. Specifically, a large language model specialized in text embedding is employed to transform legal texts into embeddings, which serve as the feature representations of the nodes in the constructed case graph. A new contrastive objective, incorporating a regularization on the degree of case nodes, is proposed to leverage the information within the case reference relationship for model optimization. The main codebase used in our method is based on an open-sourced repo of CaseLink: https://github.com/yanran-tang/CaseLink. |
