Opis

Understand TAR mechanics, processes, and technologies, as taught by EY experts Insider's Guide to Technology-Assisted Review provides professionals with a thorough understanding of the process that is becoming increasingly important to the legal industry. With detailed discussion of the methods, technologies, and practices involved in TAR, readers without advanced degrees in linguistics or related technologies will gain a solid knowledge base upon which to evaluate both current practices and the new tools and technology continually hitting the market. Written by the world-renown experts at Ernst & Young's Technology and Discovery Services, this book provides a valuable resource for professionals seeking a more efficient way to handle the discovery and analysis process. Technology-Assisted Review streamlines the discovery and document review process by essentially -training- a computer to evaluate documents as required. The term -predictive coding- is used in a narrower sense, but both terms have several meanings, and can mean different things to different firms. Insider's Guide to Technology-Assisted Review cuts through the confusion, differentiating the different types of TAR and explaining the process and mechanics of each. Readers will:

• Understand the fundamental concepts of technology-assisted review
• Simplify ediscovery, documentation, and storage of large document sets
• Learn how TAR tools work, and the resources they require to function

• Consider the specialized skillset required to fully exploit TAR technology

Technology-Assisted Review is here to stay, as the legal industry evolves to take full advantage of the cutting-edge technology becoming more widely available. As TAR becomes standard practice, it's important for professionals to understand its possibilities and limitations. Insider's Guide to Technology-Assisted Review provides clear, comprehensive guidance toward this complex topic.

The Professional′s Guide to the Theory and Practice of TAR

This important resource explores the legal, linguistic, and technical issues associated with the use of Technology–Assisted Review (TAR) and offers a summary of the existing case law that has arisen over "predictive coding." Predictive coding refers to different technologies, often based on a variety of assumptions that obfuscate the true nature of the solution. Insiders′ Guide to Technology–Assisted Review (TAR) describes the different structures of document review, in which individual items are labeled according to criteria provided by a set of requests, such as in a discovery document request.

Insiders′ Guide to Technology–Assisted Review (TAR) is filled with the information needed to meet the challenges of searching electronic data that is posed by basic properties of language. It explains Boolean search and "extended" search, the paradigm of "query–document similarity" and "latent variable" models. The authors also outline the choices underlying available predictive coding systems. Fundamentally, TAR technology involves the application of formal processes and customized algorithms over a document collection. The text provides an understanding of how this is done by different systems that enables differentiating among them in order to evaluate their application in different contexts, such as a discovery setting in a particular case. The text also contains critical information on measuring the quality of the review that includes proven methods for testing and validating document review.

Comprehensive and accessible, this book gives professionals a resource for obtaining a thorough understanding of the theory and practice of TAR.
