Thunder‑DeID+ is a Korean de‑identification system that improves boundary precision, label granularity, and recall when applied to court judgments and other sensitive documents. It introduces a refined three‑tier PII taxonomy and a boundary‑aware tokenizer that augments a pretrained BPE vocabulary with N‑gram and boundary‑scoring components, enabling better alignment of token and PII span boundaries. Evaluations show the tokenizer raises the W. Strict Typed F1‑score from 0.76‑0.77 to 0.87‑0.88 across models, and fine‑tuning on 1,000 broader documents yields a 0.93 score, demonstrating effective transfer beyond court judgments.

CLASE is a hybrid evaluation method for Chinese legal text that combines linguistic feature-based scores with experience-guided LLM-as-a-judge scores. It learns from contrastive pairs of authentic legal documents and their LLM-generated counterparts, enabling transparent, reference-free assessment of stylistic quality. Experiments on 200 Chinese legal documents show that CLASE aligns better with human judgments than traditional metrics and offers interpretable score breakdowns and improvement suggestions.
