Abstract
Document analysis systems and methods for the generation of a content-by-example log that expresses withheld documents in terms of a set of disclosed documents are disclosed. Additionally, document analysis systems and methods for the analysis of such a content-by-example log to determine withheld documents of interest without access to those withheld documents are disclosed.
Claims28
A system for document analysis and characterization, comprising:
- a processor;
- a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions;
- obtaining a set of withheld documents, where the withheld documents are accessible by a producing party and the withheld documents are inaccessible to a receiving party;
- generating a content-by-example log for the withheld documents, the content-by-example log including an entry for each of the withheld documents by:
- obtaining a set of disclosed documents, wherein the disclosed documents are accessible by both the producing party and the receiving party;
- comparing each of the withheld documents to the set of disclosed documents using a similarity function;
- determining a set of example documents for each withheld document based on the comparison of each withheld document to the set of disclosed documents, wherein each of the set of example documents is a disclosed document of the set of disclosed documents;
- and
- creating the entry for each of the withheld documents in the content-by-example log based on the determined set of example documents, where the entry for each withheld document associates an identifier for that withheld document with identifiers for the set of example documents determined for that withheld document;
- and
- providing the content-by-example log to the receiving party.
A method for document analysis and characterization, comprising:
- obtaining a set of withheld documents, where the withheld documents are accessible by a producing party and the withheld documents are inaccessible to a receiving party;
- generating a content-by-example log for the withheld documents, the content-by-example log including an entry for each of the withheld documents by:
- obtaining a set of disclosed documents, wherein the disclosed documents are accessible by both the producing party and the receiving party;
- comparing each of the withheld documents to the set of disclosed documents using a similarity function;
- determining a set of example documents for each withheld document based on the comparison of each withheld document to the set of disclosed documents, wherein each of the set of example documents is a disclosed document of the set of disclosed documents;
- and
- creating the entry for each of the withheld documents in the content-by-example log based on the determined set of example documents, where the entry for each withheld document associates an identifier for that withheld document with identifiers for the set of example documents determined for that withheld document;
- and
- providing the content-by-example log to the receiving party.
A method for document analysis and characterization, comprising:
- obtaining a set of withheld documents, where the withheld documents are accessible by a producing party and the withheld documents are inaccessible to a receiving party;
- generating a content-by-example log for the withheld documents, the content-by-example log including an entry for each of the withheld documents by:
- obtaining a set of disclosed documents, wherein the disclosed documents are accessible by both the producing party and the receiving party;
- comparing each of the withheld documents to the set of disclosed documents using a similarity function;
- determining a set of example documents for each withheld document based on the comparison of each withheld document to the set of disclosed documents, wherein each of the set of example documents is a disclosed document of the set of disclosed documents;
- and
- creating the entry for each of the withheld documents in the content-by-example log based on the determined set of example documents, where the entry for each withheld document associates an identifier for that withheld document with identifiers for the set of example documents determined for that withheld document;
- and
- providing the content-by-example log to the receiving party.
A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions for:
- receiving a corpus of documents for potential production to a receiving party;
- segregating, from within the corpus of documents, a first set of documents for production to the receiving party and a second set of documents for non-production to the receiving party;
- generating a log of a comparison between each document in the set of non-produced documents and a plurality of documents in the set of produced documents;
- and
- providing the comparison to the receiving party.
