Two-Stage Patent Retrieval Method Considering Claim Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a patent retrieval method that consists of two processing stages. In Stage 1, analysis and retrieval methods to improve recall are applied. In Stage 2, the top N documents retrieved in Stage 1 are re-arranged by applying analysis and retrieval methods that consider the claim structure to improve precision. This paper gives an overview of this retrieval method and evaluates its performance at the NTCIR4 Patent Retrieval Task.

NTCIR-5 Patent Retrieval Experiments at Hitachi
In NTCIR-5, we used five retrieval methods proposed in NTCIR-4: (1) query term weighting using only document frequency, (2) stopword deletion, (3) two-stage patent retrieval, (4) term weighting considering “measurement terms”, and (5) related term expansion. In this paper, we compare the retrieval accuracy for two test sets: 34 main queries in NTCIR-4 and 1189 new queries in NTCIR-5. Then, we e...

This paper describes our patent retrieval system participated in the NTCIR-5 Patent Retrieval Task, Document Retrieval Subtask. The main scope of our method is the appropriate query expansion to improve recall. We extracted query terms from the topic claim, and expanded query terms extracted from sentences explained in the patent document including the topic claim. The explanation sentences wer...
متن کاملExperiments on Patent Retrieval at NTCIR-4 Workshop
In the Patent Retrieval Task in NTCIR-4 Workshop, the search topic is the claim in a patent document, so we use the claim text and the IPC information for the similarity calculations between the search topic and each patent document in the collection. We examined the effectiveness of the similarity measure between IPCs and the term weighting for the occurrence positions of the keyword attribute...

This paper describes our system participated in the Japanese and English Retrieval Subtasks at the NTCIR-6 Patent Retrieval Task. The purpose of these subtasks is the invalidity search, in which a patent application including a target claim is used to search documents that can invalidate the demand in the claim. Although we use a regular text-based retrieval method for the Japanese Retrieval Su...
متن کاملThe Study of Patent Prior Art Retrieval Using Claim Structure and Link Analysis
Prior art retrieval plays an important role in patent examination. If a patent examiner can quickly and accurately retrieve prior art for an application patent, s/he will be able to efficiently and effectively judge the novelty of an application patent, and in turn, avoid hampering the technology development of the application domain. Moreover, in order to avoid losing tangible and intangible a...
