The Power of Semantic Searching

Presenter: SV
Buoyancy device

Found in boolean search - incorrect hit

The Problem:

Search for: (microbial fuel cell?)

retrieves also US2010199907A1 : BOUYANCY CONTROL DEVICE

A device having: a chamber having a gas inlet, a gas vent, and a liquid vent; and a float and a weight coupled to the chamber. The float has a lower density than the chamber. The weight has a higher density than the chamber. The aggregate density of the chamber, he float, and the weight is greater than the density of the chamber.

WHY?

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
[0004] Due to modern advances in electronics, which have reduced the power
consumption in circuitry, aquatic persistent surveillance devices may be powered
by microbial fuel cells in the foreseeable future

The Solution

•Similarity-based semantic search identifies the essence of a patent

•How do we do that?

–base-forms generation

–Compound decomposition

–semantic correlation measurement

Latest text mining technology, fully trained and specialised on IP

What exactly does that mean?

•Sort out the noise in a patent description

•Identify the relevant parts which contain the inventional steps of a patent

•Form „invention clouds“ from these inventional steps

Compute similarity (degree of matching) between the „Search“ invention cloud and the invention clouds of all the patents in the database

Benefits

  • Avoids tedious search by synomyms
  • Identifies essence of a patent independent of special terminology
  • Results in higher quality of results
  • High quality results can even be achieved by untrained personnel (e.g. without knowledge of IPC)
  • Matching between product descriptions and patents becomes feasible

Use Cases in a Patent Information System

  • Research and Retrieval of Patents
  • Relevance Test
  • Deterministic Classification
  • Open Classification
