Patents are critical intellectual assets for any competitive business. With ever increasing patent filings, effective patent prior art search has become an inevitably important task in patent retrieval which is a subfield of information retrieval (IR). The goal of the prior art search is to find and rank documents related to a query patent. Query formulation is a key step in prior art search in which patent structure is exploited to generate queries using various fields available in patent text. As patent encodes multiple technical domains, this work argues that technical domains and patent structure have their combined effect on the effectiveness of patent retrieval. The study uses international patent classification codes (IPC) to categorize query patents in eight technical domains and also explores eighteen different combination of patent fields to generate search queries. A total of 144 extensive retrieval experiments have been carried out using BM25 ranking algorithm. Retrieval performance is evaluated in terms of recall score of top 1000 records. Empirical results support our assumption. A two-way analysis of variance is also conducted to validate the hypotheses. The findings of this work may be helpful for patent information retrieval professionals to develop domain specific patent retrieval systems exploiting the patent structure.

Distributed Cloud

The recent technology development fascinates the people towards information and its services. Managing the personal and pubic data is a perennial research topic among researchers. In particular retrieval of information gains more attention as it is important similar to data storing. Clustering based, similarity based, graph based information retrieval systems are evolved to reduce the issues in conventional information retrieval systems. Learning based information retrieval is the present trend and in particular deep neural network is widely adopted due to its retrieval performance. However, the similarity between the information has uncertainties due to its measuring procedures. Considering these issues also to improve the retrieval performance, a hybrid deep fuzzy hashing algorithm is introduced in this research work. Hashing efficiently retrieves the information based on mapping the similar information as correlated binary codes and this underlying information is trained using deep neural network and fuzzy logic to retrieve the necessary information from distributed cloud. Experimental results prove that the proposed model attains better retrieval accuracy and accuracy compared to conventional models such as support vector machine and deep neural network.

Mathematical Information Retrieval

Mathematical formulas are widely used to express ideas and fundamental principles of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The rapidly growing research in science and engineering leads to a generation of a huge number of scientific documents which contain both textual as well as mathematical terms. In a scientific document, the sense of mathematical formulae is conveyed through the context and the symbolic structure which follows the strong domain specific conventions. In contrast to textual information, developed mathematical information retrieval systems have demonstrated the unique and elite indexing and matching approaches which are beneficial to the retrieval of formulae and scientific term. This chapter discusses the recent advancement in formula-based search engines, various formula representation styles and indexing techniques, benefits of formula-based search engines in various future applications like plagiarism detection, math recommendation system, etc.

Primary Focus

Purpose The degree to which a text is considered readable depends on the capability of the reader. This assumption puts different information retrieval systems at the risk of retrieving unreadable or hard-to-be-read yet relevant documents for their users. This paper aims to examine the potential use of concept-based readability measures along with classic measures for re-ranking search results in information retrieval systems, specifically in the Persian language. Design/methodology/approach Flesch–Dayani as a classic readability measure along with document scope (DS) and document cohesion (DC) as domain-specific measures have been applied for scoring the retrieved documents from Google (181 documents) and the RICeST database (215 documents) in the field of computer science and information technology (IT). The re-ranked result has been compared with the ranking of potential users regarding their readability. Findings The results show that there is a difference among subcategories of the computer science and IT field according to their readability and understandability. This study also shows that it is possible to develop a hybrid score based on DS and DC measures and, among all four applied scores in re-ranking the documents, the re-ranked list of documents based on the DSDC score shows correlation with re-ranking of the participants in both groups. Practical implications The findings of this study would foster a new option in re-ranking search results based on their difficulty for experts and non-experts in different fields. Originality/value The findings and the two-mode re-ranking model proposed in this paper along with its primary focus on domain-specific readability in the Persian language would help Web search engines and online databases in further refining the search results in pursuit of retrieving useful texts for users with differing expertise.

AbstractPatent classification systems have traditionally evolved independently at each patent jurisdiction to classify patents handled by their examiners to be able to search previous patents while dealing with new patent applications. As patent databases maintained by them went online for free access to public as also for global search of prior art by examiners, the need arose for a common platform and uniform structure of patent databases. The diversity of different classification, however, posed problems of integrating and searching relevant patents across patent jurisdictions. To address this problem of comparability of data from different sources and searching patents, WIPO in the recent past developed what is known as International Patent Classification (IPC) system which most countries readily adopted to code their patents with IPC codes along with their own codes. The Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) is the latest patent classification system based on IPC/European Classification (ECLA) system, developed by the European Patent Office (EPO) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) which is likely to become a global standard. This paper discusses this new classification system with reference to patents on bioremediation.

Cross Language

In information retrieval systems, the proximity of query terms has been employed to enable ranking models to go beyond the ”bag of words” assumption and it can promote scores of documents where the matched query terms are close to each other. In this article, we study the integration of proximity models into cross-language information retrieval systems. The new proximity models are proposed and incorporated into existing cross-language information systems by combining the proximity score and the original score to re-rank retrieved documents. The experiment results show that the proposed models can help to improve the retrieval performance by 4%-7%, in terms of Mean Average Precision.

Information Retrieval Systems

The advent of the World Wide Web has resulted in the creation of millions of documents containing unstructured, structured and semi-structured data. Consequently, research on structural text mining has come to the forefront of both information retrieval and natural language processing (Cardie, 1997; Freitag, 1998; Hammer, Garcia-Molina, Cho, Aranha, & Crespo, 1997; Hearst, 1992; Hsu & Chang, 1999; Jacquemin & Bush, 2000; Kushmerick, Weld, & Doorenbos, 1997). Knowledge of how information is organized and structured in texts can be of significant assistance to information systems that use documents as their knowledge bases (Appelt, 1999). In particular, such knowledge is of use to information retrieval systems (Salton & McGill, 1983) that retrieve documents in response to user queries and to systems that use texts to construct domain-specific ontologies or thesauri (Ruge, 1997).
