Combined Intelligence = artificial + human intelligence. We believe that an algorithm plus a person is stronger than either by itself, so we have designed all of our products based upon a "human-in-the-loop" principle. We do not trust the robots to get it right all the time; they make mistakes. (So do the humans, by the way.) We purposefully build our products to incorporate people, accepting that even with the cutting-edge AI used by our products, we will not be able to eliminate humans from the work that we focus on in our business. Thus, we named this concept Combined Intelligence.

A Sifter is a piece of software trained to read text and look for a specific concept. It reads novel language, learns from experience, and improves over time. Our Sifters use machine learning and natural language processing, types of AI, along with a number of other advanced search techniques.

Yes. We use advanced machine learning to keep our Sifters improving.

On average, our Sifters F1 accuracy score is 95%, with our latest Sifters at 97% or higher. We use Precision, Recall, and F1 to measure the performance of our Sifters. For an in-depth look at these metrics and surrounding concepts, read this nice blog entitled, "4 things you need to know about AI: accuracy, precision, recall and F1 scores," from Lawtomated. A Sifter must hit a minimum precision score of 90%, a minimum recall score of 95%, and a minimum F1 of 93% to be published within our products. The average F1 for all of our Sifters is just above 95% and rising (Sifters improve over time). The Sifters coming out of our Sifter Factory in the last year are starting at 97%+. These F1 scores materially outpace human performance. That doesn't mean that the Sifters are "smarter" then people, but it does mean that a collection of Sifters is more likely to accurately classify and analyze contract concepts then a human.

Clients and partners may suggest Sifters for our Sifter Library through our Sifter Ideas form or sponsor a Sifter through the Sifter Sponsorship program. We consistently work to accommodate our client and partner requests with new Sifters that meet their needs.

Yes. Sifters are consistently improved with the help of Sifter Trainer reports and focused research and development efforts from our Data Science and Content Development teams. When we started in 2013, our Sifters were performing at F1 levels around 90%. Now they exceed 97%. We will continue to improve the performance of our Sifters as our user base grows and our technology advances.

Yes. Just like people, our Sifters make errors. Clients and team members report Sifter errors through our Sifter Trainer, a feature of both LegalSifter Review and LegalSifter Organize. Once our Content Development team confirms the accuracy of the report, we will retrain the Sifter that made the error within 5-10 business days and release the improved Sifter back into production.

Only with your permission. We use client and partner contracts to improve the quality of our Sifters for everyone as part of our Sifter Improvement Program. With more clients, partners, and contracts, we make our Sifters more accurate, faster. Essentially, we chop contracts up into little pieces—words, phrases and sentences—and feed them to our algorithms. If you consent, we will use your contracts for Sifter research and development. Under no circumstances will your contracts be disclosed or identifiable to any third party, other than subcontractors involved in Sifter research and development. Without your consent, we will not use your contracts, other than as needed to provide technical support on your account.

Yes. LegalSifter encrypts data at rest and in transit. Data that is encrypted at rest includes the underlying storage for database instances and its automated backups. Data at rest, which includes Read Replicas, and snapshots, as well as S3 storage buckets, and application server storage, are encrypted using the industry-standard AES-256 encryption algorithm, with keys managed by AWS Key Management Service. For data in transit, LegalSifter utilizes TLS 1.2. LegalSifter received an A+ grade from Qualys’ SSL Labs analyzer. Communications between back-end infrastructure travel exclusively within a private network where connections are whitelisted as needed.

Users set their own initial password before logging on for the first time. Accounts are locked after 5 consecutive failed login attempts. User accounts timeout after 30 minutes of inactivity.
