Advanced E-Discovery Text Analytics from Global EDD Group

January 24, 2012 By Global EDD Group Leave a Comment

Modern organizations have access to abundant sources of data that contain jewels of useful knowledge. Emails, web pages, memos, call center transcripts, survey responses, claims notes, legal cases, patent descriptions, research articles, and incident reports – all hold valuable pieces of knowledge that are hard to discover because they are hidden within large volumes of raw data or structured datasets not typically indexed for key term searching. Overwhelmed by the glut and variety of data, law firms and corporations are seeking new methods to analyze large volumes of structured and unstructured data to not only discover key knowledge, but to create case or review strategy as well.

Automated Knowledge Discovery & E-Discovery Text Analytics

Automated Knowledge Discovery (“AKD”) is our service that derives knowledge from text and structured data, including XML files, databases, spreadsheets, web sites, documents, and emails using Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Interactive Visualization and Report Generation. AKD enables you to gain valuable insight into large diverse data sets by leveraging intelligent data mining and analysis tools to undertake a range of knowledge discovery tasks, including:

Data Source Integration

XML Files
Spreadsheets
Email / PST Files / Exchange Datastores
File Shares
Databases
Delimited Files
RSS Feeds
Web Sites

Distinct Text Identification

Compares records to determine whether they are duplicates, though comparison is fuzzy in the sense that the two values do not have to be 100% identical in content and form. Similar to “near duplicate indentication”.

Key Term Linking

Generates a visualization of associations between various keywords so that that relationships between words are well-represented in a set of documents or a column of text values.

Text Clustering

Utilizes phrases find and identify similar groups of documents or records based on the contents of text.

Entity Extraction

Dates
Human names
Organizations
Addresses
Phones
Money Amount
Geographic Names

Keyword Extraction

Determines the important concepts discussed in a text via the identification the most frequent keywords and the ability to drill down on each keywords to see how the words are being mentioned.

Phrase Extraction

Statistical determination of phrases by examining the co-occurrences of consecutive words within the text. Stated more simply, if two words occur next to each other repeatedly in several sentences across several documents, it can be statistically assumed that these words constitute a phrase.

Link Analysis

Displays correlations and clusters of terms extracted from a set of documents or text values with the ability to drill down to review the specific relationships.

Complex Searching

Searches for phrases, proximity, by sentence or paragraph, synonyms and alternate term forms and enables the ability to see a ranked list of matching records, search within the results of previous searches, refine search query by providing positive and negative document-based relevance feedback, and the highlighting of occurrences of words in documents for easy navigation.

Our Automated Knowledge Discovery Services provide valuable insight to any collection of discovery data, far beyond key term browsing typically associated with litigation support systems, many of which simply do not have the ability to process structured data such as SQL databases or “as found” versions of email stores. Additional benefits of AKD Services include:

Mobile platform deployable worldwide
Fee structure based on time, not volume
No long term commitments, user fees or storage fees
Compliments, not replaces, current review workflows and systems
Ideal platform for data sampling

Global EDD Group Introduces iReview Analytics™ for Electronic Discovery

January 20, 2012 By Global EDD Group Leave a Comment

Early Case Assessment Tool Features Text Analytics, Latent Semantic Indexing & Seamless Integration With Full Review Platform

Cleveland, Ohio, USA – (20 January 2011) – Global Electronic Discovery & Disclosure Group (“Global EDD Group”), a boutique consulting firm that provides innovative electronic discovery solutions across the globe, announces the release of iReview Analytics™, an early case/data assessment tool for electronic discovery matters. iReview Analytics leverages advanced text analytics based on latent semantic indexing to provide users with unique insight within large volumes of electronically stored information (ESI) associated with litigation and investigations.

The sheer volume of potentially relevant electronically stored information (ESI) in companies and government organizations challenges any organization to understand the costs of e-discovery and prepare for each step of litigation. Even with data already in litigation hold and through a first pass filter there can be a tremendous volume to sift through, leaving many uncertainties. iReview Analytics provides users with a data analysis that identifies key concepts, categorizes those concepts and then provides the ability to sample the documents based on the most relevant categories. This early data assessment provide the information required to understand potential review costs and prepare for Rule 26 meet and confer, both at a fraction of the cost typically associated with similar tools or full review platforms.

A brief summary of iReview Analytics™ capabilities includes:

Concept Search – Using advanced mathematic formulas to allow users to find similar, related, and relevant documents based purely on the concepts those documents are discussing – without using keywords, and without retrieving “matching, yet irrelevant” content.

Categorization – Allows users to define categories by means of examples. Based on the exemplars, iReview Analytics and CAAT technology automatically categorizes incoming documents.

Instant Context (Contextual Explanation) – Helps users understand unfamiliar terminology. The user clicks on an unfamiliar term and iReview Analytics with CAAT highlights similar terms found in related text.

Language Analytics – Within any single language, iReview Analytics with CAAT can be applied to any topic, vocabulary or language that can be represented in the Unicode encoding system. In a cross-lingual mode, users can submit queries in English while searching documents in other languages.

Summarization – Automatically identifies sentences in a document that best represent key concepts, and uses those sentences to give users a quick summary of the entire document.

Dynamic Clustering – Allows a user to point iReview Analytics with CAAT to a set of documents and then allow iReview Analytics with CAAT to dynamically group conceptually-similar documents together in a tree-type hierarchy and finally, to apply a descriptive title to each cluster of documents.

Near Duplicate Document Detection – Uses iReview Analytics with CAAT Dynamic Clustering to identify and group documents that are duplicates and/or near-duplicate documents, as well as identifying the extent of duplication.

Integration With Full Review Platform - iReview Analytics integrates seamlessly with the iReview Global Discovery Platform, a robust document review platform offered by Global EDD Group. This integration increases efficiency and reduces both processing time and cost.

Law Firms and Corporations interested in learning more about Automated Discovery Services should call +1.888.690.DATA (3282), emailinfo@globaledd.com, or visit http://www.globaleddgroup.com/Document-Review/iReview-Analytics.html for additional information.

Introducing iReview Analytics™ Early Case Assessment Tool for Electronic Discovery

January 17, 2012 By Global EDD Group Leave a Comment

The question then becomes this: How do you extract the information you need in order to understand the potential costs of a full review without undertaking a full review — and still be prepared for a Rule 26 meet and confer?

iReview Analytics™ from Global EDD Group is an early case assessment (ECA) tool that gives you the insight you need to be prepared. iReview Analytics utilizes CAAT, a powerful example of a new class of technologies known as “Text Analytics”, to transform large volumes of unstructured data, such as documents, emails, and publications, into relevant, actionable information. Text Analytics automate most of the human activity traditionally associated with ECA to understand, organize, prioritize and retrieve information from large sources of unstructured data.

iReview Analytics was developed in partnership with Content Analyst Analytical Technology (CAAT), a leading developer of advanced analytics for searching and analyzing unstructured text. iReview Analytics includes the CAAT engine – a unique, patented software system that provides advanced Conceptual Search functions based on Latent Semantic Indexing. This search technology enables iReview Analytics to acquire all its search intelligence from the actual documents being indexed. Unlike other solutions, iReview Analytics does not require external dictionaries or thesauri. It works across foreign languages, even searching – and finding – relevant documents in different languages –without prior translation.

iReview Analytics returns to you an analysis of your data that identifies key concepts, categorizes those concepts and then provides you the ability to sample the documents based on the most relevant categories. This early case assessment gives you the information you need to understand costs and prepare for Rule 26 meet and confer at a fraction of the cost of a full review.

iReview Analytics™ Capabilities:

Categorization – Allows users to define categories by means of examples. Based on the exemplars, iReview Analytics and CAAT technology automatically categorizes incoming documents.

Summarization – Automatically identifies sentences in a document that best represent key concepts, and uses those sentences to give users a quick summary of the entire document.

VeHOLD™ is an automated litigation hold solution that enables clients to fully engage a litigation hold from the designated administrator’s desktop.

Chinese, Japanese or Korean Documents Have You Perplexed?

April 26, 2010 By Global EDD Group Leave a Comment

中文，日语或朝鲜语文件有你困惑？

あなたは困惑し、中国語、日本語、韓国語のドキュメントがありますか？

당신은 당황하게 중국어, 일본어 또는 한국어 문서가 있나요?

Documents containing Chinese, Japanese and Korean (“CJK“) language and character sets have become intertwined within many different legal matters, ranging from international arbitration to intellectual property litigation to to administrative investigations. However, the solutions typically used to manage CJK documents have not kept pace with demand and remain slow, cumbersome and expensive. Most firms, corporations and vendors rely on automated machine translation or certified document translations to understand CJK documents, with the first often revealing giberish results and the later often resulting in extremely high cost to the end client.

Asia Legal Technologies – a joint venture between Global EDD Group and Data Management Corporation – provides innovative custom solutions to clients with CJK document collections. Each solution is designed to be efficient in both time and cost while leveraging specialized technology, knowledge and human resources to provide multi-lingual services.

Data Collection & Preservation
Scanning / OCR
E-Discovery Processing
Automated Language Identification
Standard Coding (Chinese, Japanese, Korean to English)
Document Summaries (Chinese, Japanese, Korean to English)
Translation (Machine, Hybrid, Certified)

Document containing East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese or Korean no longer need to be a perplexing problem with complicated, expensive solutions.
