Introduction

The U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have greatly increased the importance of understanding the content within very large collections of electronically stored information.

Traditional search methods using full-text indexing and Boolean keyword queries are often inadequate for e-discovery. They typically return too many results (low precision) or require tightly defined queries that miss critical documents (low recall.) Linguistic processing offers a solution to increase both the precision and recall of e-discovery applications. We discuss four issues in legal discovery that can be enhanced with linguistic processing: improving recall for characterization, improving precision for search, protection of sensitive information, and scalability.
