Extract: Overview of the Three Generations of Predictive Coding Software
First generation Predictive Coding, version 1.0, entered the market in 2009. It used active machine learning with methodology requirements built into the software that you begin the review with an SME coding a random selection of several thousand documents. The random documents included a secret set of documents not identified to the user, any user, called a control set. The secret control set supposedly allowed you to objectively monitor your progress in Recall and Precision of the relevant documents from the total set. It also supposedly prevented lawyers from gaming the system. Version 1.0 software also had two distinct stages, one for training and another for review. The next generation of version 2.0 methodology combined the two-stages into one,where training continued continuously throughout the review. The method of Predictive Coding 3.0 again combines the two-stages into one, but also eliminates the secret control set. Random sampling itself remains, that is the third step in the eight-step version 3.0 process, but the secret set of random documents, the control set, is eliminated.
