Applying the KISS Principle for the CLEF- IP 2010 Prior Art Candidate Patent Search Task

چکیده
We present our experiments and results for the DCU CNGL participation in the CLEF-IP 2010 Candidate Patent Search Task. Our work applied standard information retrieval (IR) techniques to patent search. In addition, a very simple citation extraction method was applied to improve the results. This was our second consecutive participation in the CLEF-IP tasks. Our experiments in 2009 showed that many sophisticated approach to IR do not improve the retrieval effectiveness for this task. For this reason of we decided to apply only simple methods in 2010. These were demonstrated to be highly competitive with other participants. DCU submitted three runs for the Prior Art Candidate Search Task, two of these runs achieved the second and third ranks among the 25 runs submitted by nine different participants. Our best run achieved MAP of 0.203, recall of 0.618, and PRES of 0.523.

Automatic Prior Art Searching and Patent Encoding at CLEF-IP '10
In the intellectual property field two tasks are of high relevance: prior art searching and patent classification. Prior art search is fundamental for many strategic issues such as patent granting, freedom to operate and opposition. Accurate classification of patent documents according to the IPC code system is vital for the interoperability between different patent offices and for the prior ar...

In the recent decade that research in IR methods for Intellectual Property domain has increased. The rst e orts in observing how information retrieval is done in patent domain were done with the series of Nist workshops (see for example [2]). Lately, more workshops and conferences are dedicated to bringing together IR and IP specialists [3,8]. In 2008, the Irf obtained the agreement to coordina...

This technical report presents the work carried out for the Prior Art Candidate Search track of CLEF-IP 2011. In this search scenario, information need is expressed as a patent document (query topic). We compare two methods for estimating query model from the patent document to support summary-based query modeling and descriptionbased query modeling. The former approach utilizes a known text su...

This technical note presents the system built for the IP track of CLEF 2010 based on PATATRAS (PATent and Article Tracking, Retrieval and AnalysiS), the modular search infrastructure initially realized for CLEF IP 2009. We largely reused the system of the previous CLEF IP but at a relatively smaller scale and with the improvement of three main components: • A new citation mining tool based on C...

The patent system is designed to encourage disclosure of new technologies and novel ideas by granting exclusive rights on the use of inventions to their inventors, for a limited period of time. Before a patent can be granted, patent o ces around the world perform thorough searches to ensure that no previous similar disclosures were made. In the intellectual property terminology, such kind of se...
