Kroll Ontrack, the leading provider of ediscovery, information management, and data recovery products and services, today announced it is hosting a new series of Technology Assisted Review (TAR) Learning Labs, complete with CLE credit, in select cities around the country.

Specifically, the one-day Technology Assisted Review Learning Labs will dissect TAR through instructor-led exercises and document review hypotheticals. Users will learn how to set-up an automated workflow; calibrate precision, recall and f-measure; and measure the results of TAR through sampling and reporting. At the end of each session, attendees will be able to:

• Train the system so that the machine can learn to categorize documents.
• Complete a review by only looking at a small portion of a document set.
• Document and defend their TAR process.

“The legal industry has been buzzing for quite some time about predictive coding, intelligent review and automated review, so the market understands its value, but wants to learn how to put this market-disruptive technology to use,” said Michele Lange, director of thought leadership, Kroll Ontrack. “The Kroll Ontrack Technology Assisted Review Learning Labs are designed to do just that. We are taking our strong foundation in providing educational curriculum and pairing it with our Ontrack® Inview™ Intelligent Review Technology to help attorneys, litigation support and paralegals become experts on the practical application of TAR.”

The schedule for the Kroll Ontrack Technology Assisted Review Learning Labs is set for the following dates and locations:

• April 10, New York, N.Y.
• April 25, Washington D.C.
• June 6 & 7, Minneapolis, MN (Learning Lab/Certification Workshop combination)

“The Kroll Ontrack Learning Lab Session provided a deeper look at how TAR works than many other software providers have offered,” said Michael J. McGuire, Shareholder and eDiscovery Counsel for Littler Mendelson and an attendee to the inaugural Learning Lab in Minneapolis. “In addition, the hands-on exercises demonstrated how Kroll Ontrack has integrated the statistical analysis tools into their workflow.”

Registration is now open and can be completed at http://www.krollontrack.com/events/education/learninglabs/. Summer and fall Learning Lab dates are forthcoming.

In addition to the Technology Assisted Review Learning Labs, Kroll Ontrack also offers Certification Workshops, complete with CLE credit, on the latest ediscovery topics and trends, including ediscovery best practices; social media; new case law; and BYOD, data privacy and cloud security.
