FRONTEO Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto, hereinafter referred to as FRONTEO) has obtained a patent for this technology in Taiwan in an international patent application for "classification based on multiple identification models and cross-validation." We are pleased to inform you that we have obtained this (application number: 110117709, registration number: I772023, registration date: July 2022, 7).This is the second country in which the patentability of this technology has been recognized, following the acquisition of patent rights in Japan in July 21.

　This technology is used in the document review tool "KIBIT Automator" as "Illumination Forest". FRONTEO's proprietary natural language processing AI engine "KIBIT (reading: kibit)" can learn important documents in advance and assign high scores to documents that are close to the contents to sort them. It has contributed to the efficiency of operations that require reviews. KIBIT Automator was released in March 2019 to improve the work efficiency of document review in electronic discovery (e-discovery) that handles electronic data and files in the discovery (discovery) required in the court proceedings of US civil lawsuits. , contributes to work load reduction and cost reduction.

　Illumination Forest is FRONTEO's unique ensemble learning algorithm installed in KIBIT Automator in January 2020. When classifying documents to be reviewed, it is particularly effective in projects with a high proportion of documents related to evidence. increase.In particular, it is often used in e-discovery projects in the United States, and has been highly evaluated for its efficient document review, and has contributed to the acquisition of projects in the United States, Taiwan, and South Korea, where FRONTEO is developing overseas business.

　The fact that we were able to obtain a patent in Taiwan this time shows the technological superiority of our AI in Asian language processing, and we believe that it will lead to further expansion of the acquisition of projects in overseas markets.

　As a digital forensics/discovery vendor that provides unique tools, FRONTEO will continue to work on improving algorithms and improving the accuracy of Asian language processing, contributing to the efficiency and reduction of burdens in responding to corporate lawsuits and investigations.
