Equivio, Clearwell Add Predictive Coding for e-Discovery #ltny

There’s no doubt that predictive coding is the next big thing in e-Discovery. While predictive coding aims to code, organize, and prioritize entire sets of electronically stored information (ESI) according to their relation to discovery responsiveness, privilege and designated issues before and during the legal discovery process, many e-Discovery vendors have been working hard to offer products and service that offer predictive analytical solutions.

Predicting eDiscovery 

Case in point: two e-Discovery vendors have launched predictive coding platforms today.

eDiscovery Goes Zoom!

Equivio has launched a platform called Equivio Zoom, an integrated platform for predictive coding and analytics that is designed to make it easier for law firms, corporate legal teams and service providers to integrate analytics across their existing e-Discovery workflows.

By combining a host of Equivio’s well-known components, like near-duplicates, email threads and relevance with data import and export, early case assessment and enriched analytics, Equivio Zoom integrates it across a unified platform approach, which eliminates the need for moving data between applications, shortening processing cycles and reducing the chance of errors.

Acceleration Through Transparency

Symantec also announced the latest version of its Clearwell e-Discovery Platform, which introduces Transparent Predictive Coding to help organizations defensibly reduce the time and cost of document review. With Transparent Predictive Coding, Symantec works to accelerate the review process by leveraging the intelligence of expert reviewers to train the software on tagging criteria, generate predictions and analyze accuracy.

The net result for both platforms is a more defensible automated document review process at significantly reduced cost.

Review Gets a Boost From Predictive Coding

As predictive coding becomes more mainstream, using analytics in the e-Discovery process has become easier to implement and execute. Equvio Zoom and Transparent Predictive Coding boast greater accessibility and user-friendliness because of a few key functionalities:

Equivio Zoom

• Import — extracts text and metadata from raw ingest, and generates data profiles for ECA
• Analysis — subjects the data to multi-layered analysis, including de-duping, near-duping, email threading and language detection, while Zoom’s search environment enables keyword analysis and metadata faceting
• Relevance — organizes documents by relevance, which can be "trained" by attorneys to assess documents for responsiveness and privilege
• Export — uses relevance scores, keywords and metadata to select relevant documents for export; review batches are then created and designed to keep like documents together in downstream review; Zoom exports native files, full text and metadata to the relevant review platform

As users become more familiar with Zoom, their review process is likely to become more efficient and more defensible. But manual processes are only so accurate, which is why Zoom continues to monitors Relevance training to identify situations where the expert has applied inconsistent training tags to near-duplicate documents.
