Quantitative Methods for Lawyers – Course Materials – Professor Daniel Martin Katz
Quantitative Methods for Lawyers is the first course in a two course sequence and it assumes no prior knowledge of statistics / quantitative thinking. You will learn basic concepts and will receive an introduction to R (the open source programming language which is lingua franca of statistical computing). Those with a prior knowledge of statistics, etc. might be advised to simply start with our Legal Analytics course (which is a primer in machine learning / advanced analytics for lawyers that I teach with Michael Bommarito).
Technology, Data & Computational – LJD Week Presentation @ The World Bank
Today I had the pleasure of participating in the Law, Justice & Development Week at the World Bank in its headquarters in Washington DC. My panel was focused on Technology, Data and Computation to Promote the Rule of Law. It was a great and meaningful conversation pointed toward substantive applications!
The Advanced E-Discovery Institute @ Georgetown Law
Tomorrow I will be speaking on the opening panel at the Advanced E-Discovery Institute @ Georgetown Law. The event draws hundreds of lawyers and technologists to Washington DC to discuss the latest advances in the rapidly evolving field of E-Discovery.
The Auto Industry Won’t Create The Future (via Backchannel)
Lots in here that is relevant to many other industries besides automotive … I particularly enjoyed the comments from the alleged thought leaders in the auto industry.
Google Just Open Sourced TensorFlow, Its Artificial Intelligence Engine (via Wired)
Obviously this move is pretty significant for those trying to sell machine learning in a SAAS style model / machine learning as a service (ML_AAS). Together with the significant amount of ML technology that is already in the opensource ecosystem – this will put more pressure on customization / configuration around problems with a much smaller premium on having access to certain forms of base models/algorithms.
