Episode 17: Do Portable Models (Brains) Actually Work in TAR?
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.
Sherlock and the Case of the Protected Manatees
Sherlock is on the case finding documents about protecting the manatees in Florida. Tune in to see the power of Sherlock and how it can enhance your ability to find great documents.

Sherlock and the Case of the Florida Ticket Scalpers
Our mission today is to track down emails discussing Florida’s plan to legalize ticket scalping. There was a bill that passed through the Florida legislature that was heading toward Governor Bush’s desk.

Sherlock is on the case finding documents about the dispute over the Havana Club trademark. But he noticed that at least one person misspelled Havana giving it two n’s. Can Sherlock still use these documents to find others about the trademark dispute? Watch and see.
