Inspiration
This project was inspired by the mystical black box that is terms of service agreements.
What it does
We built a tool that demystifies these terms of service agreements by translating legal jargon into everyday language.
How we built it
Simplify uses multiple datasets pertaining to Tos agreements, legal documents, and language simplification in order to fine-tune a LLM for our desired task. Simplify parses documents by splitting them into overlapping chunks and performs inference on each chunk. It then deploys NLP processes in order to clean and format the text.
Challenges we ran into
The hardest challenged we faced was sourcing quality data. Data for this use case is sparce, so we had to get very creative with how we source useful data.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we created a functioning app that achieves our intended goal.
What we learned
Things won't always go to plan, but that is never a reason to stop. Reimagine a different solution and Implement!
What's next for Simplify
We are going to deploy a chrome extension that achieves this task live on a webpage. This would allow for ease of use on websites that present Terms of Service agreements.
