GraphLawPH: Benchmarking GNN Architectures for Task-Specific Knowledge Discovery in Philippine Statutes

Building on GraphLawPH, the first knowledge graph of Philippine Republic Acts, this study benchmarks three graph neural network (GNN) architectures—GAT, GCN, and GraphSAGE—and compares them to a high-dimensional Legal-BERT baseline to determine their suitability for statutory legal embedding. Using a corpus of 12,124 R...
