System and Method for Electronic Chat Production

Systems, methods, and computer program products for adaptively splitting electronic chats are provided. One embodiment includes receiving, by an electronic discovery system executing on a computer processor, an electronic chat comprising a set of electronic chat messages, each of the electronic chat messages in the set of electronic chat messages having a timestamp; determining a set of time gaps between the electronic chat messages from the set of electronic chat messages; determining a set of models that model the set of time gaps, selecting an optimum model from the set of models; based on selecting the single Gaussian distribution as the optimum model, determining that the electronic chat comprises a single electronic chat message or based on selecting the Gaussian mixture model as the optimum model, performing an adaptive splitting of the set of electronic chat messages into a set of conversations based on the Gaussian mixture model.
