There is so much information these days on AI it’s hard to know where to begin. If you are interested in hearing about some case studies on practical usage then look no further than an ILTA webinar series on the topic. You may also want to review these as a precursor to this year’s ILTACON. The first in the series is Beyond the Hype: Artificial Intelligence in Legal Research where William Caraher, CIO at van Briesen & Roper discusses how they use ROSS to improve their processes.

Here are three of what I think are the most crucial areas of deep learning: Voice Search & Voice-Activated Assistants Voice-activated assistants can ...

Here is the recording of the first in a series of recorded webinars on big data. In this webinar, yours truly provides an overview on big data - what is big data and how does it differ from the data law firms have been dealing with for years.
