| Popis | Retrieving relevant case law remains a time-consuming task. We compare two embedding models for Czech Constitutional Court decisions: (i) a large general-purpose OpenAI embedder and (ii) a domain-specific BERT trained from scratch on ~34,000 decisions. We introduce a noise-aware evaluation using IDF-weighted keyword overlap as graded relevance, dual thresholds (0.20, 0.28), paired-bootstrap significance, and nDCG diagnostics. Despite conservative absolute nDCG due to noisy institutional labels, the OpenAI embedder consistently and significantly outperforms the domain BERT across all ranks and thresholds. Our framework enables robust evaluation under imperfect gold standards typical of legacy judicial databases. |
