Abstract
Given a set of training documents relevant to a litigation hold, properties common to the documents relevant to the case and not common or missing in the non-relevant documents can be identified and used to generate a litigation hold query to be suggested to a user. After receiving a training set of documents, one or more common properties between the relevant training documents are identified. Based on the common properties, a suggested litigation hold query can be generated to return documents in a larger set that are representative of the relevant documents in the training set. Additionally, a query can be generated by iteratively improving a base query to return documents sharing characteristics of a training set of documents. Suggested queries may evolve as the training set evolves.
