"Maximizing Efficiency and Accuracy with BlueStar's Technology-Assisted Review (TAR) Solutions for eDiscovery"
Introduction
Technology-assisted review (TAR), also known as predictive coding or computer-assisted review, is a method used in eDiscovery to streamline the process of reviewing large volumes of electronic documents. TAR utilizes computer software and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to identify relevant documents, reducing the time and cost of manual review. In eDiscovery, TAR is used to classify documents as relevant or irrelevant to a particular case. This is achieved through the use of machine learning, in which the computer is trained on a sample set of documents that have been manually coded by human reviewers. The computer then uses this training to make coding decisions on the remaining documents in the dataset.
The recent updates to the Federal Rules, which now place a strong emphasis on proportionality in limiting the scope of discovery, make it clear that TAR is becoming widely used in cases involving large amounts of documents. There are two main types of TAR: sample-based learning (also known as TAR 1.0) and the next generation of TAR, active learning (also known as TAR 2.0). TAR 1.0 uses a sampling method to build a training set of documents, which are then coded by the computer and assessed by human reviewers. TAR 2.0, also known as Continuous Active Learning, improves upon TAR 1.0 by continually streaming documents to human reviewers, with documents assessed by the computer as most likely to be relevant and prioritized.
TAR can significantly reduce the time and cost of document review in eDiscovery while achieving more accurate results. However, it is important to ensure that the TAR process is sufficiently accurate and that no relevant documents are missed. TAR is now an everyday occurrence in eDiscovery processes across the globe, with judicial approval having been granted in the United States (2012), Ireland (2015), and the UK (2016).

Benefits of TAR
TAR provides several key benefits over traditional document review methods. Firstly, it can significantly reduce review costs by automating repetitive tasks such as keyword searches and coding decisions. This allows reviewers to focus on analyzing documents rather than spending time searching for them. Secondly, it can reduce review time by quickly identifying relevant documents from large datasets. This allows reviewers to start working on meaningful documents sooner, without having to wait for all documents to be manually reviewed. Finally, it can improve consistency by providing more accurate results than manual review methods.
In addition to these benefits, BlueStar's TAR solutions are designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy for even novice users to take advantage of the technology's capabilities.
