Abstract

Is it possible to replace the judge’s decision with an algorithm? This paper explores the computational evidence regarding the use of Opinion Mining Sentiment Analysis and lexical spinners by computational machines, highlighting the challenges associated with the use of algorithms in a quali-quantitative predictive context. The research focuses on the implementation of an advanced algorithm designed to replace the judge in the judicial activity by adopting an approach that integrates the intensity variables of cognitive stimuli into the parametric analysis through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, thus minimising the errors associated with the quantitative-predictive method in isolation. Such an approach allows for the accurate replication of the judge’s writing style and decisions, guaranteeing an accurate and unbiased interpretation of legal facts.
