RDC Analytics Headlines Presentation on Accelerated Review and Predictive Coding for Women in eDiscovery
RDC Analytics, a content analytics consulting firm, today announced that its Director of Analytics Market Development, Hope Swancy-Haslam, J.D., will be leading a CLE discussion for the Atlanta Chapter of Women in eDiscovery on May 9. The presentation, titled “Accelerated Document Review - Concept and Predictive Coding,” will examine current best practices for expediting document review in a timely and cost-conscious manner.
With the recent case law and media coverage, review is a key topic for corporations with large corpuses of ESI that need to be effectively reviewed for privilege and production. There are a number of technologies available that position themselves as formidable solutions for this expensive process, but there are also weaknesses as well. The presentation will take the time to talk about the pros and cons of the most common technologies and then recommend an approach for minimizing risk that focuses on defensibility and transparency.
The discussion will include:
- An overview of predictive coding
- The pros and cons of typical predictive coding tools
- The key blind spots of predictive coding
- Alternatives to artificial intelligence-based predictive coding
- Best practices for leveraging predictive coding
