Training Data Source Warning

After saving a conceptual analytics index in Relativity, one of the options on the console will be to 'Show Index Statistics'.



An index statistics report will display several fields of interest, but pay particular attention to the 'Average Document Size in Words' field. This lists the mean number of words in each document in the training data set. The value should fall between 120 and 200. A number below this range may indicate that one of the folllowing problems exists in the training data source:

  1. Very short documents have been included.

  2. The extracted text contains errors.

  3. The saved search did not include long text fields.

If the value is 10 or lower, don't proceed without replacing the training data source first.
