Leading Asian Technology Company Endorses UBIC Expertise in Complex, Multi-Language Predictive Coding Technology for International Litigation
Redwood City, CA (PRWEB) July 16, 2013 -- UBIC, Inc. (TSE: 2158; NASDAQ: UBIC), a global provider of strategic international litigation-support solutions today announced that its technology-assisted review engine (CJK TAR), which is designed to handle complex languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean along with English language accurately, is equipped with advanced Predictive Coding capabilities proven to be highly effective in reducing review-related costs in a recent international intellectual property (IP) litigation involving a leading global technology company based in Asia.
The performance of UBIC’s technology was disclosed by a corporate client representative in a panel discussion of eDiscovery experts at the Asia eDiscovery Exchange, a well-regarded industry forum held last month in Hong Kong.
Industry-forum panel discussion points to UBIC technology success at the Asia eDiscovery Exchange forum, UBIC’s client representative from a leading global technology company, disclosed that his company had successfully employed UBIC’s Chinese, Japanese, Korean (CJK)-language capable, CJK TAR/Advanced Predictive Coding technology to identify privileged documents – those documents in a data set that are protected by attorney-client privilege or would disclose confidential work-product information.
In this project, UBIC’s corporate client was able to substantially reduce both review time and the costs of review by first identifying and extracting confidential documents and potentially privileged documents, and then assigning an order of priority to the documents that should be reviewed.
“The use of UBIC’s CJK TAR/Predictive Coding technology to accurately identify privileged documents is an innovative application of our technology,” UBIC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Masahiro Morimoto said. “Its success in this application demonstrates once again UBIC’s capability to reliably and effectively adapt its in-house developed technology to meet a client’s needs.”
The panel discussion is referenced in the eDiscovery Journal article, “Asian Dawn for eDiscovery– Part 2 – Back from China”; http://ediscoveryjournal.com/2013/06/asian-dawn-for-ediscovery-part-2-back-from-china/
Reliably saving time and money-
“UBIC’s performance in applying machine-learning to the search and review phases of the discovery process addresses a key issue: reducing the cost and time spent on discovery in international litigation and government-led investigations while maintaining accuracy in results”, Mr. Morimoto said.
Asia’s leading eDiscovery services and solutions provider UBIC’s Lit i View™ platform effortlessly handles multiple complex languages including Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK), and works easily with popular Asian software formats used in email and other region-centric communications channels.
Success continues to build for UBIC technology–
UBIC’s CJK TAR/Predictive Coding technology has been or is currently under adoption by various Asia-based global corporations in numerous litigation and investigation cases.
The disclosure at the Asia eDiscovery Exchange forum comes amid growing documentation of the success of UBIC’s TAR and Predictive Coding technology to provide significant cost savings while meeting or exceeding the performance of human reviewers in the review phase of the eDiscovery process.
“UBIC’s TAR/Predictive Coding technology employs state-of-the-art machine-learning technology, developed in our own labs and applied to the process of eDiscovery,” Mr. Morimoto said. “Our technology has been proven in multiple, real-time cases to deliver significant savings in both costs and time and delivers results that equal or exceed those of human reviewers.”
