Talk, Fun, and Occasionally Some Useful Information About AI and the Law
TAR Talk is a 20 minute (or so) podcast coming live from our virtual front porch, where Tom and John (sometimes with guests) yak about issues relating to the use of AI (often machine learning) in the legal world.
We started our focus on a process in electronic discovery many called Technology Assisted Review (that’s what the TAR part means). Over the years, we have broadened our focus to gabbing about how artificial intelligence is changing the practice of law and the delivery of legal services. And, when pushed, we will talk about any other legal technology topic that comes to mind.
During these podcasts, Tom and John (joined by Mary Mack our fearless leader at EDRM) will share knowledge, talk to guests, discuss current research and practices and try to hit at least one issue of importance to legal professionals in each session. They will also offer bad analogies, make even worse jokes and generally make fun of themselves and their guests. The only thing they won’t do (if you are lucky) is offer advice on how to fix your car--but we loved the name.

Episode 17: Do Portable Models Make TAR Better?
A number of TAR vendors are offering what they call "portable models" for different types of cases. The claim is that the models are already trained on your topics and therefore can find relevant documents with minimal training. Do these work? At what cost or security risk? Join us as we talk about Tom and Dr. J's latest research on the strengths and weaknesses of these portable brains.
