US 2010/0306206 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HIGH PRECISION AND HIGH RECALL RELEVANCY SEARCHING

Abstract

A method and system for performing high precision and high recall relevancy searching is provided. According to embodiments of the present invention, a relevance rule is generated based on a user model and language from within one or more relevant and non-relevant documents. A query is created based on the relevance rule wherein the query may be applied to a corpus to identify relevant and non-relevant documents. The relevance rule may be iteratively refined in order to increase the accuracy of the query. The resulting query may be used by a litigator during the discovery phase of a litigation to respond to a request for production.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for identifying one or more relevant documents, comprising:

generating, by a computer, a filter for identifying a relevant document based on an initial relevance rule related to a set of documents;
applying, by the computer, the filter to the set of documents thereby identifying a subset of relevant documents;
receiving, by the computer from an assessor, the subset of relevant documents comprising an identification of key information;
generating, by the computer, an updated relevance rule based on the key information and the initial relevance rule;
generating, by the computer, a query based on the updated relevance rule for identifying relevant documents within the set of documents;
and
outputting, by the computer, the set of documents within which the relevant documents have been identified.
