    (SLIIT, 2016-11-16) Dharmasiri, N; Gunathilake, B; Pathirana, u; Senevirathne, S; Nugaliyadde, A; Thelijjagoda, S
    Understanding the law statements for general public is evidently complex. The research derives a computational solution on reducing the complexity of the law statements. Given a law statement, the research will use both wordnet and “LawNet” to create a simpler meaning. The research will focus on information extraction, information retrieval, question analysis and answer generation techniques to derive better meaning of law statements. The law statement will be treated as a question and the “LawNet” and wordnet will be used in as information extraction points. The law statement will be analyzed as a question; more information will be retrieved through the wordnet and “LawNet”. This process mostly acts similar to a search engine’s process. The results provide on average 80% accuracy for a 1500 dataset.
