Abstract
E-discovery refers generally to the process by which one party (for example, the plaintiff) is entitled to discover evidence in the form of electronically stored information that is held by another party (for example, the defendant), and that is relevant to some matter that is the subject of civil litigation (that is, what is commonly called a "lawsuit"). Information Retrieval for E-Discovery describes the emergence of the field, identifies the information retrieval issues that arise, reviews the work to date on this topic, and summarizes major open issues. Information Retrieval for E-Discovery is an ideal primer for anyone with an interest in e-discovery; be it researchers who first practiced law but now study information retrieval, or those who studied information retrieval but now practice law.
期刊介绍:
The surge in research across all domains in the past decade has resulted in a plethora of new publications, causing an exponential growth in published research. Navigating through this extensive literature and staying current has become a time-consuming challenge. While electronic publishing provides instant access to more articles than ever, discerning the essential ones for a comprehensive understanding of any topic remains an issue. To tackle this, Foundations and Trends® in Information Retrieval - FnTIR - addresses the problem by publishing high-quality survey and tutorial monographs in the field.
Each issue of Foundations and Trends® in Information Retrieval - FnT IR features a 50-100 page monograph authored by research leaders, covering tutorial subjects, research retrospectives, and survey papers that provide state-of-the-art reviews within the scope of the journal.
