WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE
The objective of the workshop (and of the PaIR workshop series since 2008 in general) is to provide a forum for Information Retrieval and Knowledge Management scientists as well as Patent Retrieval experts from industry to study the next generation of patent search tools.
We encourage IP professionals to present their special information needs and IR&KM researchers to present relevant technical ideas, for example for high recall search in prior art searching.
We will also promote exchange of ideas on measuring the progress of system performance for retrieval tasks in the intellectual property domain.
------------------------------
PROPOSED PROGRAMME
The workshop will begin with two invited speakers, at least one of which will be from the industry. Then, accepted papers will be invited to do short presentations. Discussions will take place in the second part of the workshop around posters of the accepted papers. The workshop will end with a separation into working groups, based on the discussions which have taken place during the morning and early afternoon. Potential workgroup discussion topics are:
• Industry – Academia: collaboration or competition?
• Patentese : experiences and ideas on understanding and processing it
• Image recognition for patents
• Data annotation, text mining and their use for a more semantic patent retrieval
