Time for another thought leader interview on eDiscovery Today! This time, I’m interviewing Igor Labutov, Head of Epiq AI Labs of Epiq!

As I mentioned, Igor Labutov is Head of Epiq AI Labs. Igor is a computer scientist with a strong interest in developing machine learning algorithms that learn from natural human supervision, such as natural language. He has more than 10 years of research experience in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
