At a certain level of abstraction, Bradley, yes, WLN operates in a manner that is similar to other state-of-the-art search engines insofar as it separates the document retrieval function from the document ranking function. In the latter search engine optimization (SEO) stage, it harnesses machine learning techniques and algorithms to “learn” an optimal ranking of documents in order to provide high precision results in the top ranks. The prior retrieval stage, by contrast, focuses on high recall, that is, ensuring that all potentially relevant documents are retrieved. You also mention e-disclosure (e-discovery?) based search tools. As you may know, there are many, many tools in this space today. Without knowing exactly what kinds of resources you may be referring to and in what context, it is difficult to provide a reliable answer to this question.

Comment on Next Generation Legal Search – It’s Already Here by Bradley Bloom

Interesting article – as you rightly point out, in many cases, as with any search engine, the skill of the searcher in submitting the right search term, where it’s not just a case which is being searched for is key. I ma not entirely clear from the article whether the search engine works fundamentally differently from google, which seems to be moving towards semantic search ? Finally, I know that some of the e-disclosure based search tools are very sophisticated now, wonder whether they work in the same way or not ?

Thank you, Michael. Indeed it looks like a usable ontology (I thought those things existed only in dreams and research papers).
I will definitely play around with it!

Interesting article. You may want to take a look at some medical ontological systems such as snomed to see how that technology was developed and has evolved in both development and use over the years.

Thx.
