Global EDD Group Introduces iReview Analytics™ for Electronic Discovery
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 technology automatically categorizes incoming documents.
Instant Context (Contextual Explanation) – Helps users understand unfamiliar terminology. The user clicks on an unfamiliar term and iReview Analytics highlights similar terms found in related text.
Language Analytics – Within any single language, iReview Analytics 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 to a set of documents and then allow iReview Analytics 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 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.

Introducing Automated Knowledge Discovery from Global EDD Group
New Service Applies Advanced Data Mining & Transformaton Technology To Electronic Discovery
Cleveland, Ohio, USA - (02 December 2011) –Global Electronic Discovery & Disclosure Group ("Global EDD Group"), a boutique consulting firm that provides innovative legal technology solutions across the globe, announces the implementation of Automated Knowledge Discovery, a new suite of services that leverages advanced data mining tools to derive critical knowledge from text and structured data, including XML files, databases, spreadsheets, web sites, documents, and emails.
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 ("AKD") enables legal teams 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:
Distinct Text Identification
Key Term Linking
Text Clustering
Entity Extraction
Keyword Extraction
Phrase Extraction
Link Analysis
Complex Searching
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
