This is a continuation of Ralph Losey’s earlier blog with the same title: Latest Grossman and Cormack Study Proves Efficacy of Multimodal Search for Predictive Coding Training Documents and the Folly of Random Search – Part One.
Cormack and Grossman set up an ingenious experiment to test the effectiveness of three machine learning protocols. It is ingenious for several reasons, not the least of which is that they created what they call an “evaluation toolkit” to perform the experiment. They have even made this same toolkit, this same software, freely available for use by any other qualified researchers. They invite other scientists to run the experiment for themselves. They invite open testing of their experiment. They invite vendors to do so too, but so far there have been no takers.
