Most companies sign contracts based on the contract prior to executing the task. However, several problems can occur if the poisonous clauses are not identified before the contract is concluded. To prevent this problem, companies have an expert review the contract, but the service requires much time and money. If there is a system in which the poisonous clauses can be identified through prior review of the contract, the high cost and time incurred in reviewing the contract can be mitigated. Thus, this paper proposes a text classification model that identifies any poisonous clause in the contract by inputing each paragraph in the contract. To improve the classification performance of the proposed model, the importance of each sentence is calculated based on the relationship information between the sentence in the paragraph and the class to be classified, and classification is performed by reflecting it in each sentence. The proposed model showed the performance of the F1 score 84.51%p in experiments using actual contract data and the highest performance with the F1 score 93.64%p in experiments using the WOS-5736 dataset for the performance comparison with the existing text classification models.
