Abstract

Given a set of documents relevant to a litigation hold and a seed set of keywords, a second set of keywords can be generated and suggested to a user. Each document in a training set of documents is given an indication of relevance. Based on the indication of relevance, a set of further keywords relevant to the litigation is extracted from the documents and suggested to a user. The suggested set of keywords may or may not include keywords in the seed set. Additionally, the suggested set of keywords may be related to the seed set of keywords.
