Towards an Automatic Consolidation of French Law

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

A tool called Legistix converts Official Journal patch texts into executable consolidation programs by combining layered regex/compound grammars with a new functional DSL that schedules lazy evaluation edits; it parses Legifrance open data (~1M texts / 2.3M articles), generates one program per modifying text, and applies them to recreate historical versions (127 article changes/day). Implementation uses Python with C primitives, outputs runnable transformation code, and currently reaches 93% reliability with a roadmap to 100% via richer rules and ML.
