Base Claim:
1. An electronic document analysis method receiving N electronic documents pertaining to a case encompassing a set of issues including at least one issue and establishing relevance of at least the N electronic documents to at least one individual issue in the set of issues, the method performed with a processor, the method comprising, for at least one individual issue from among said set of issues: i. receiving an output of a categorization process applied to documents in at least control subsets of said at least N electronic documents, said output including, for each document in said subsets, one of a relevant-to-said-individual issue indication and a non-relevant-to-said-individual issue indication; ii. seeking an input as to whether or not to initiate a new iteration I; if a new iteration is initiated, perform steps iii-x; and if a new iteration is not initiated, go to step xi; iii. selecting m electronic documents from among a subset of the N electronic documents that are not in the control set and that were not used in previous rounds for training the classifier; iv. receiving an output of a categorization process applied to the m electronic documents; v. adding the m electronic documents to an existing training subset and building a text classifier simulating said categorization process using said output for all documents in said training subset of documents; vi. evaluating said text classifier's quality using said output for documents in said control subset; vii. selecting a cut-off point for binarizing said rankings of said documents in said control subset; viii. using said cut-off point, computing and storing at least one quality criterion characterizing said binarizing of said rankings of said documents in said control subset, thereby to define a quality of performance indication of a current iteration I; ix. displaying a comparison of the quality of performance indication of the current iteration I to quality of performance indications of previous iterations; x. returning to step ii; and xi. generating a computer display of said output of said categorization process received in step i as most recently performed, including, for each document in said subsets, one of a relevant-to-said-individual issue indication and a non-relevant-to-said-individual issue indication.

Claim 22:
22. The method according to claim 1 further comprising: classifying each document from among said N electronic documents as relevant or irrelevant to an issue; and generating a computer display of at least one user-selected document within said N electronic documents, wherein at least some words in said user-selected document are differentially presented depending on their contribution to said classifying of the document as relevant or irrelevant, wherein said words differentially presented are differentially colored and intensity of color is used to represent strength of said contribution for each word.
