Generating domain-specific content such as legal clauses based on minimal
user-provided information can be of significant benefit in automating legal
contract generation. In this paper, we propose a controllable graph-based
mechanism that can generate legal clauses using only the topic or type of the
legal clauses. Our pipeline consists of two stages involving a graph-based
planner followed by a clause generator. The planner outlines the content of a
legal clause as a sequence of keywords in the order of generic to more specific
clause information based on the input topic using a controllable graph-based
mechanism. The generation stage takes in a given plan and generates a clause.
The pipeline consists of a graph-based planner followed by text generation. We
illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed two-stage approach on a broad set
of clause topics in contracts.

本文提出了一种基于可控图形机制的流水线，利用主题或类型生成法律条款，进而实现自动化法律合同生成。此方法涉及到两个阶段的计划和生成过程，以及从一般到特定从输入主题使用可控图形机制的关键字序列的依次安排，并基于给定计划生成条款。实验证明，我们的方法在各种契约主题上都非常有效。
