Abstract
There is provided a computer-executable method for ordering documents for review in response to an electronic discovery request. The method involves determining, by a processor, one or more metrics of the documents, the one or more metrics indicating at least one of privilege and responsiveness of the documents. The method also involves estimating a relevancy of the documents according to the metrics. The method also involves ordering the documents from most relevant to least relevant according to the relevancy, receiving relevance feedback from a first document reviewer, updating the order according to the relevance feedback, and sending a first subset of the updated ordered documents to a second document reviewer for review.
Claims20
A computer-executable method for ordering documents for review in response to an electronic discovery request, the method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, one or more metrics of the documents, the one or more metrics indicating at least one of privilege and responsiveness of the documents;
- estimating a relevancy of the documents according to the metrics;
- ordering the documents from most relevant to least relevant according to the relevancy;
- receiving relevance feedback from a first document reviewer;
- updating the order according to the relevance feedback;
- and
- sending a first subset of the updated ordered documents to a second document reviewer for review.
A system for ordering documents for review in response to an electronic discovery request, the system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine one or more metrics of the documents, the one or more metrics indicating at least one of privilege and responsiveness of the documents;
- estimate a relevancy of the documents according to the metrics;
- and
- order the documents from most relevant to least relevant according to the relevancy;
- an input port configured to receive relevance feedback from a first document reviewer, wherein the processor is further configured to update the order according to the relevance feedback;
- and
- an output port configured to send a first subset of the updated ordered documents to a second document reviewer for review.
A computer-executable method of assigning an un-reviewed document to a reviewer in response to an electronic discovery request, the method comprising:
- identifying first metrics that characterize the un-reviewed document;
- receiving feedback from a reviewer about a reviewed document;
- determining, after receiving the feedback, that the reviewer efficiently reviews documents that are characterized by the first metrics;
- assigning, by a processor, the document to the reviewer according to the received feedback;
- and
- sending the document to the assigned reviewer for review based at least on receiving a document distribution command.
A system for assigning an un-reviewed document to a reviewer in response to an electronic discovery request, the system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- identify first metrics that characterize the un-reviewed documents;
- an input port configured to receive feedback from a reviewer about a reviewed document, wherein the processor is further configured to determine, after receiving the received feedback, that the reviewer efficiently reviews documents that are characterized by the first metrics, and assign the document to the reviewer according to the received feedback;
- and
- an output port configured to send the document to the assigned reviewer for review based at least on receiving a document distribution command.
