Abstract
Legal texts are regulations specified in a general and abstract way: For specific situations, they determine the (legal) consequences of the situation on the basis of certain conditions that must or must not be met. Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful tools for analyzing texts, but are prone to hallucinations and do not provide an explanation for their answers. This paper proposes to apply LLMs on legal texts in a way to mitigate the issues of LLMs while utilizing their powerful abilities to process text. The amount of legal texts is quite huge and constantly changing. Thus, it is not reasonable to manually process and extract facts required by intelligent agents working with legal text. This paper describes a concept for automating text processing for schematically analyzing legal texts. We provide a simple legal case example, describe how to model legal texts schematically, and to extract these schemes using LLMs. We conclude with a short evaluation of the abilities of ChatGPT and Gemini in the field of legal texts. Generally, our approach is not limited to legal texts and can be used to extract schemes from natural language texts helping intelligent agents to improve their decisions.

| Other | The conference takes place from 25. September to 27. September and is the 47th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The German AI Conference basically started approx. 49 years ago with the first GI-SIG AI meeting on Oct. 7, 1975.<br/>KI is one of the major European AI conferences and traditionally brings together academic and industrial researchers from all areas of AI, providing an ideal place for exchanging news and research results on theory and applications.<br/><br/>The program of KI2024 comprises paper presentations, tutorials and workshops, invited keynotes, and many more. A program will soon be available.<br/><br/>KI 2024 takes place at the Computer Science building of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at the Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg. This year, we are excited to announce that the conference is jointly organized with the LWDA 2024 conference. The organization is carried out by members of CAIDAS und Institute for Computer Science.
