Overall, I'm excited to continue to find ways to do AI research while helping empower civil servants and improve public services. As a first step, we're excited to see what NJOPD, other offices, and the public do with the resources we've created!
This work would not be possible without @dominsta_nlp, in partnership with NJOPD, the NJ Innovation Authority, the NJ Office of Information Technology, AWS engineers, and public defenders who shared their expertise.
🚀Last week we announced the launch of a new AI tool in partnership with the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender! AI can empower civil servants and improve public services, and this project provides a blueprint for doing so responsibly. 👇Lots of takeaways, below! https://x.com/PeterHndrsn/status/2077082323279810671/photo/1 https://twitter.com/dominsta_nlp/status/2074887802383179950
To evaluate our system we collected a new benchmark of representative queries, with the help of real appellate-level OPD attorneys—we're immensely grateful for their time! These queries are often different from existing academic benchmarks and help make evals more real! https://x.com/PeterHndrsn/status/2077082332012404777/photo/1

They also rely on a wealth of shared knowledge: past briefs, memos, directives, and lessons from colleagues about what has—and hasn’t—worked in court.
