94 P E E R T O P E E R : I L T A ' S Q U A R T E R L Y M A G A Z I N E | W I N T E R 2 0 2 3 Data Assessment A common challenge that our clients in the legal field often encounter are the so-called "rolling uploads" – situations where processing work for a particular forensic collection is done on an on-going basis. Their primary concern is whether the machine learning algorithms will have to undergo multiple training rounds to recalibrate them for additional documents. Previously, the answer would depend on client's own estimates of how different the content or source of newly added data was compared to the existent sets. With a new feature that FRONTEO is introducing to KIBIT in 2023, the difference between data used to train AI and data that AI is being asked to evaluate can now be quantified numerically and KAM can produce an unequivocal answer as to whether additional sampling for training documents is required. There are other potential use cases for this technique – for example some clients have inquired about building a persistent data library of training sets for different types of litigation or investigation content. This functionality would enable a quick assessment of how effectively new data can be trained using a pre-existing training set from the library. Finally, FRONTEO is also working on utilizing this method for identifying the best or most optimal training set for a given document population, which would allow us to minimize the initial training process even further, driving further efficiency gains through the use of AI. Conclusion FRONTEO's flagship product – "KIBIT" AI engine – is a prime example of the company's commitment to accurate CJK data analysis. KIBIT relies on advanced NLP techniques to effectively identify and categorize words and phrases in multiple languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
