What is a Sifter?
Sifters are artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that are trained to read text and look for a specific concept. They learn from experience and improve over time. LegalSifter’s Sifters use two types of artificial intelligence to solve this problem: machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). NLP teaches computers to interpret human language as written, regardless of style. LegalSifter’s Sifters use NLP to convert text into meaning. LegalSifter trains their Sifters with machine learning to identify a specific concept, like a consequential damages waiver. Their lawyers find hundreds or thousands of examples of a specific concept. Their Data Science team uses machine learning to find the intangible thread that binds the writing of lots of lawyers, all with their own grammatical flair. As more of their clients use the Sifters, they improve.
How are Sifters built?
It is a 9-step process involving 2 to 3 attorneys and 1 to 2 Data Scientists. It takes the LegalSifter team between 3-5 weeks to build a Sifter. The attorneys review thousands of sentences or phrases that may or may not address the concept covered (usually from 500+ private and public contracts from around the world). When the attorneys have sufficient data, they pass the data over to their data scientists, who then build the machine learning algorithm that uses natural language processing — the Sifter. When their data scientists believe they have hit the quality thresholds established by the LegalSifter team, the Sifter goes through final testing and then is launched into production.

Do Sifters make mistakes?
Sifters are trained to read text and look for a specific concept. They learn from experience and improve over time.

What is the General Advice comment on all the sifted documents?

Henderson Brothers LegalSifter Review is a tool utilized in that process. LegalSifter is not providing legal advice. Additionally, Henderson Brothers, Inc. nor its employees provide legal or tax advice. Henderson Brothers, Inc. recommends that its clients confer with their own legal counsel for all potentially relevant legal issues in the clients’ contracts. The suggestions and sample language shared as part of this contract review via Henderson Brothers LegalSifter Review should still be carefully reviewed prior to execution.
