New stopping rules improve document screening using decision theory

Researchers have developed new decision-theoretic stopping rules for document screening, aiming to optimize search result examination. These policies, derived from the Expected Value of Perfect Information, consider the specific reason for reviewing documents rather than solely focusing on recall targets. Applied to patent examining and systematic reviewing tasks, the new approach demonstrated superior performance over existing methods in experiments using CLEF-IP and medical systematic review datasets, yielding higher net utility.

    Decision-Theoretic Stopping Rules for Document Screening

    Deciding when to stop reviewing the results of a search is a common problem with multiple applications. Existing stopping rules developed within Technology-Assisted Review (TAR) aim to achieve a pre-specified recall target and do not take into account the reason for examining the…
