FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto, hereinafter FRONTEO) is a defendant of the review tool "KIBIT Automator" equipped with FRONTEO's proprietary AI "KIBIT" in the investigation of litigation cases in the United States. We would like to inform you that it was used by the plaintiffs, who have fewer documents to submit compared to the side companies, and contributed to the efficiency of the document review process.

This time, FRONTEO has supported an investigation into a civil lawsuit in the United States in which a Japanese company was the plaintiff.Civil lawsuits in the United States require "discovery," which is a procedure for requesting the disclosure of related information and materials from both parties and collecting testimony records before proceeding to trial.Among them, the process called "document review" to find related information is said to account for about 7% of the time and cost involved in the discovery process.In recent years, with the rapid increase in the amount of data handled by companies, etc., the amount of data to be investigated in these processes has also increased, and it is necessary to find the necessary information from a huge amount of data within a limited time. , Utilization of tools such as AI is indispensable.

FRONTEO is a continuous active learning (CAL) that targets about 70,000 items to be reviewed and continuously sorts them while adding related documents as teacher data. I used "KIBIT Automator" in Model.We were able to quickly review high-priority documents, maintain defensiveness, and as a result, cut off about 40% of the review targets, resulting in document review efficiency and cost reduction.

In addition, in order to confirm the appropriateness of the cutoff, an illusion test was conducted to check whether there are any related documents among the documents excluded from the review, and the discovery rate was 0.001% or less, which was determined by AI. The refinement proved to be reasonable.

KIBIT Automator is highly evaluated for its ability to discover "data you want to find" in a short time from a huge amount of data, and it is also used in international litigation cases, arbitration cases, U.S. authorities investigation cases, and Japanese investigation cases in various fields. Widely adopted.In this case, the effectiveness of the eDiscovery process for relatively few documents on the part of the plaintiffs in the US civil proceedings has been proved.

FRONTEO will continue to promote the sophistication of AI solutions and contribute to the reduction and efficiency of corporate litigation and investigation response, and the early resolution of problems.
