| # Risk-o-meter Framework - Implementation Summary | |
| ## ✅ Completed | |
| Successfully implemented the **Risk-o-meter framework** (Chakrabarti et al., 2018) and integrated it into the comparison pipeline. | |
| ## 📄 Paper Reference | |
| **Title**: Risk-o-meter: Automated Risk Detection in Contracts | |
| **Authors**: Chakrabarti, A., & Dholakia, K. (2018) | |
| **Key Achievement**: **91% accuracy on termination clauses** | |
| **Method**: Paragraph vectors (Doc2Vec) + SVM classifiers | |
| ## 🎯 Implementation Details | |
| ### Core Components | |
| **File**: `risk_o_meter.py` (750+ lines) | |
| #### 1. Doc2Vec (Paragraph Vectors) | |
| - **Purpose**: Learn distributed semantic representations of legal clauses | |
| - **Model**: Distributed Memory (DM) variant | |
| - **Parameters**: | |
| - Vector size: 100 dimensions (configurable) | |
| - Window: 5 words context | |
| - Epochs: 30-40 (configurable) | |
| - Algorithm: DBOW/DM (using DM for better semantic capture) | |
| #### 2. SVM Classifier | |
| - **Purpose**: Multi-class risk categorization | |
| - **Kernel**: RBF (default) or linear | |
| - **Features**: Doc2Vec embeddings + optional TF-IDF augmentation | |
| - **Output**: Risk categories with probability distributions | |
| #### 3. SVR Regressors (Extension) | |
| - **Purpose**: Predict severity and importance scores | |
| - **Method**: Support Vector Regression | |
| - **Output**: Continuous scores (0-10 scale) | |
