Evaluation of High-Recall Human-in-the-Loop Information Retrieval Technologies

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The objective of high-recall information retrieval (HRIR) is to identify substantially all information relevant to an information need, where the consequences of missing or untimely results may have serious legal, policy, health, social, safety, defence, or financial implications. To find acceptance in practice, HRIR technologies must be more effective—and must be shown to be more effective—than current practice, according to the legal, statutory, regulatory, ethical, or professional standards governing the application domain. The applicant is the leading expert in this field, having first recognized the transferability of machine-learning technologies from spam filtering to electronic discovery, and then having established the scientific foundation for their acceptance in civil litigation and regulatory proceedings, both in the United States and Europe.
