MNDA Multilabel Classifier

This model ( legmulticlf_mnda_sections) should be run on each paragraph of NDA clauses, and will retrieve a series of 1..N labels for each of them. The possible clause types detected my this model in NDA / MNDA aggrements are:

  • Parties to the Agreement — Names of the Parties Clause
  • Identification of What Information Is Confidential — Definition of onfidential Information Clause
  • Use of Confidential Information: Permitted Use Clause and Obligations of the Recipient
