Abstract:
1. An electronic document analysis method using a processor for analyzing N electronic documents, the method comprising: i. providing an initial set of control electronic documents, randomly selected from the N documents, to initially use as a current set of control electronic documents; ii. for at least one current set of control electronic documents, performing a current iteration comprising the following steps a-c: iii. if the current estimated validation level is below a desired validation level, repeating said performing of a current iteration, using a set of training electronic documents larger than that used previously to generate a classifier to be run on a current set of control electronic documents, wherein said at least one aspect comprises an F-measure, and if the current estimated validation level is below a desired validation level, said performing of a current iteration is repeated using a set of control electronic documents larger than that used previously and wherein said using a set of control electronic documents larger than that used previously comprises: estimating a number of electronic documents to be added to the initial set of control documents if the desired validation level is to be achieved; and randomly selecting said number of electronic documents from among the N electronic documents.
