Contract Understanding Atticus Dataset (CUAD) v1 is a corpus of more than 13,000 labels in 510 commercial legal contracts that have been manually labeled by The Atticus Project to identify 41 categories of important clauses that lawyers look for when reviewing contracts.

We tested CUAD v1 against ten pretrained AI models and published the results on arXiv here.

Code for replicating the results, together with the model trained on CUAD, is published on Github here.

Contract Understanding Atticus Dataset (CUAD) is a dataset for legal contract review. CUAD was created with dozens of legal experts from The Atticus Project and consists of over 13,000 annotations. The task is to highlight salient portions of a contract that are important for a human to review.

Invented in 2008, CUAD biotechnology is among three cost-effective antisense technologies used for insect pest control (RNAi, CUAD, and CRISPR/Cas) based on the formation of duplexes of unmodified nucleic acids (RNAi: guide RNA-mRNA; CUAD: guide DNA-rRNA; CRISPR/Cas: guide RNA-genomic DNA) and action of nucleic acid-guided nucleases (RNAi: Argonaute; CUAD: RNase H; CRISPR/Cas: CRISPR-associated protein). It is amazing that simple CUAD-based ‘genetic zipper’ method is so efficient for IPM.
