Behind the Black Box: A Preview of the 8th Annual-Advanced eDiscovery Institute Event

The Georgetown Law CLE 8^th Annual-Advanced eDiscovery Institute event is rapidly approaching. Next week on November 17, eDiscovery thought leaders will gather at the Ritz Carlton in Washington DC for the two day CLE event. Digital Reef is a Georgetown Law Institute sponsor of the event and the company’s Founder and CTO, Steve Akers will be speaking at a 4:15 pm panel on the first day. The panel is titled “Behind the Black Box: Decoding Advanced eDiscovery Analytic Technology”.

No one disputes that concept searching, near-duplicate clustering, predictive coding, and related analytic technologies can help reduce the burden of eDiscovery. Yet, the fear that many attorneys have regarding their ability to explain these methods has limited their widespread adoption. Add the reluctance of some service providers to reveal the inner workings of their technology and the problem is compounded. This eDiscovery Institute event panel will peel back the cover of these tools and explain in simple understandable terms, how they work in practice.

Gilbert O. Greenman, from Williams & Connolly LLP, will moderate the panel. Panelists include Founder and CTO of Digital Reef, Steve Akers, Principal Researcher from Microsoft Research, Susan Dumais, CTO of Recommind, Dr. Jan. Puzicha, and Dr. Douglas W. Oard.

Digital Reef representatives will be present at a table in the Exhibit Hall, and will be raffling off Starbucks Gift Cards during Networking Breaks.
