An article by Evan Koblentz posted on law.com on the LTN webpage.
The article discusses technology studies aimed at providing metrics to measure the effectiveness of eDiscovery solutions.
The article references two current projects and states, "...in addition to the final results of the U.S. government's annual Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) Legal Track, due in February, there will also be a new round of the nonprofit Electronic Discovery Institute's own performance study, last conducted in 2006. In both cases, the contests pit teams of document reviewers, using their choice of software, all working on the same data set to learn which methods are the fastest and most thorough." A link to the TREC project is provided in the article.
The article further states, "Such benchmarks may be the e-discovery equivalent of sabermetrics in professional baseball -- the concept that computers and measurements are more useful than a veteran leader's intuition."
In addition, the article goes on to describe some specifics about each of the referenced research projects. The article also states, " "I'm more interested in the much bigger policy decisions that the judiciary is making," EDI leader and LTN advisory board member Patrick Oot said. "When litigants choose one form of technology over the other, what are the ramifications of it? It's very difficult to apply real science to a loosey-goosey standard like reasonableness.""
