In July 2014, attorney Maura Grossman and professor Gordon Cormack introduced a new protocol for Technology Assisted Review that they showed could cut review time and costs substantially. Called Continuous Active Learning (“CAL”), this new approach differed from traditional TAR methods because it employed continuous learning throughout the review, rather than the one-time training used by most TAR technologies. Barbra Streisand in ‘A Star is Born’ Their peer-reviewed research paper, “ Evaluation of Machine-Learning Protocols for Technology-Assisted Review in Electronic Discovery ,” also showed that using random documents was the least effective method for training a TAR system. Overall, […]
