    The objective of our prior art search is to identify retrospectively the most similar patent text spans in the training data of the GPT-2 model. Although our experiments show the effectiveness of reranking in the patent domain, they also show that semantic search for longer text remains very challenging…. The topics for future researchers include: How to make reranking more effective? How to measure the “novelty” and “non-obviousness” between the generated patent text and prior patent text?

    The next generation AI-based Prior Art Search tools can be sustainable and transparent. Linda Andersson, et al
    Linda Anderson is PhD student in TU Wien, PhD Thesis The Essence of Patent Text Mining to be completed in 2022. Linda also CTO and co-CEO  of Artificial Researcher IT GmbH
    From the PhD thesis abstract: “In order to demonstrate the importance to recognize different information needs and linguistic diversity within the patent domain, we develop several real-world text mining applications, from information extraction in terms of domain specific terminology, identification and ontology population, to specific question answering systems. During a series of IR experiments, we developed a complete information retrieval system for patent passage retrieval, which incorporate domain knowledge and linguistic diversity within the patent text genre, and meets the specific requirements of patentability and invalidity search.”

    …In this paper we propose the empirically motivated Linguistically Informed Masking (LIM) method to focus domain-adaptative pre-training on the linguistic patterns of patent…. We quantify the relevant differences between patent, scientific and general-purpose language and demonstrate for two different language models (BERT and SciBERT) that domain adaptation with LIM leads to systematically improved representations by evaluating the performance of the domain-adapted representations of patent language on two independent downstream tasks, the IPC classification and similarity matching. We demonstrate the impact of balancing the learning from different information sources during domain adaptation for the patent domain. We make the source code as well as the domain-adaptive pre-trained patent language models publicly available at this https URL [@GitHub, Copyright (c) Siemens AG, 2020]

    … we address the computer-assisted search for prior art by creating a training dataset for supervised machine learning called PatentMatch. It contains pairs of claims from patent applications and semantically corresponding text passages of different degrees from cited patent documents. Each pair has been labeled by technically-skilled patent examiners from the European Patent Office. Accordingly, the label indicates the degree of semantic correspondence (matching), i.e., whether the text passage is prejudicial to the novelty of the claimed invention or not. Preliminary experiments using a baseline system show that PatentMatch can indeed be used for training a binary text pair classifier on this challenging information retrieval task. The dataset is available online: https://hpi.de/naumann/s/patentmatch.

    Project: ExpResViP - Exploitation of research results through visual patent retrieval (July 2020 – August 2023) (Team: Gerrit Bruns, Kader Pustu-Iren, Visual Analytics Group)
    The aim of the project is to develop a novel visual search for patent retrieval based on the automatic recognition of image similarities and text-image references in patent specifications. The innovative, image-based search is based on machine learning methods and aims to increase the findability and visibility of patents and to overcome language and terminology barriers. … to meet the demand for innovations in the field of patent exploitation in consultation with the Leibniz Gemeinschaft [The Leibniz Association]. This requires the classification of different image types, recognition of semantic concepts, development of measures for similarity estimation, user-oriented development and design of the tool's user interface.

    AI in and for Patent Analytics: A hype or an efficient support tool for patent analysts?

    Irene Kitsara (WIPO)
    From the PatentSemTech 2021 Workshop presentation abstract:
    The future of patent analytics is expected to include AI, even if the exact form and extent are not yet clear. In this talk we will share some thoughts and observations about the status of AI tools for patent analytics, related benefits and challenges. We will use as basis for these thoughts a. WIPO`s exploratory work (2016 and ongoing work) on the use of open source tools and machine learning for patent analytics tasks in the framework of preparation of related methodological resources; and b. USPTO`s report (2020) comparing the performance of a patent professional team using traditional search and analysis approaches for the WIPO Technology Trends report on AI (2019) with the results of an AI model to retrieve and group AI-related patent documents, using WIPO`s patent dataset as benchmark.

    On July 15, 2021 the 2nd Workshop on Patent Text Mining and Semantic Technologies (PatentSemTech) will be held in conjunction with SIGIR’21 - the 44th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval. The workshop is organized by FIZ Karlsruhe, TU Vienna Informatics, Artificial Researcher, RSA FG Research Studio DSc, Hasso Plattner Institut, Potsdam and Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA.

    The workshop will provide a platform to present novel research and developments in the areas of text and data mining and the application of semantic technologies to patent data.

    With the PatentSemTech2021 workshop we continue our series of workshops launched in 2019, aiming to establish a long-term collaboration and a two-way communication channel between the IP industry and academia from relevant fields such as natural-language processing (NLP), text and data mining (TDM) and semantic technologies (ST). Hereby, we hope to enable the exploration and transfer of new knowledge, methods and technologies for the benefit of industrial applications as well as support research in applied sciences for the IP and neighboring domains. The workshop is designed to showcase high-quality new research in addition to topical technical presentations and expert panel discussions around the topic “Artificial Intelligence & Patent Analytics: Friends or Foes?“.
