<p>Professor Gordon Cormack will be presenting a talk on using machine-learning based spam filters to accurately locate relevent electronic documents - a process which has typically been very manual, and very expensive.</p>

</short>
|

<abstract>
|
||||
<p>In a lawsuit, each party is typically entitled to Discovery, in which the
|
||||
other party is compelled to produce any "documents" in its possession that
|
||||
may be pertinent to the case. Documents include not only traditional
|
||||
paper documents, but email messages, text messages, computer files, and
|
||||
other electronically stored information, or ESI. Suppose you were
|
||||
compelled to produce every document in your possession pertaining to
|
||||
software downloads or purchases? How would you do it? If you were a
|
||||
large corporation, you would probably hire an army of lawyers to read all
|
||||
your email, plus your assignments, and any other files on your UW account,
|
||||
your laptop, your phone, and your tablet, at a cost of one dollar or more
|
||||
per file. As a CSC member, you know there must be a better way. But what
|
||||
is that better way, and how do you convince the court to let you use it?</p>
|
||||
<p>It turns out that spam filters that employ machine learning can do this job
|
||||
well -- better than that army of lawyers. But lawyers aren't happy about
|
||||
this. This talk will outline how the technology works and how to prove
|
||||
that it works, so as to convince scientists, lawyers, and judges.</p>
