Throwing a wrench in the document review machine

November 10, 2012
/ TECHNOLOGY

10 November 2012– There was an interesting piece in EDD Update entitled “Throwing a Wrench in the Document Review Machine”. It is about the “issue-of-the-moment” in ediscovery. No, not whether you need a hyphen in ediscovery/e-discovery. It is about computers against humans, the debate being waged around predictive coding to determine the future of document review. The article discusses a recent New York Law Journal article by Steve Green and Mark Yacano of Hudson Legal, which questions two sources widely cited to support the use of technology-assisted review: Laura Grossman and Gordon Cormack’s “Technology-Assisted Review Can (and Does) Yield More Accurate Results Than Exhaustive Manual Review, With Much Lower Effort” and the 2009 Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) Legal Track Interactive Task study.
