PATENT CLASSIFICATION – MACHINE LEARNING

System learns how to fine-classify patents

�Observes and imitates human decision making

Advantages

• No explicit externalization of knowledge needed

• No rule-writing

• Better results

• System generalizes (higher recall)

• Statistical model can handle „noise“ better than rules

• Ambiguity and textual variations better handled

THE PROCESS OF MACHINE LEARNING

Labeling

• Up to 100 categories

• ~10-50 patents per category

• Hierarchical categories

• Multi-labeling

Learning

• Learn characteristic patterns in labeled data

• Lots of different classification algorithms

Prediction & Review

• Automatically map new patents to categories

• Confidence value for each category

• Different selection criteria

Multilabel Classification

USE CASE1: LARGE-SCALE PATENT LANDSCAPING

• Goal: to semi-automatically categorize patents to the

company‘s technology landscape

• Technology Landscape: 35 Classes (8 main classes, 27 sub-

classes)

• 7.000 patents, 10 competitors

• Evaluation

– between automated judgement with expert judgement

– between two expert judgements (Interrator-Agreement)

Manual (2 expert judges) 80%

Averbis Patent Analytics save up to 80% of time with

accuracy being on par with manual judges!

USE CASE2: RESEARCH LITERATURE RELEVANCY

• Goal: to automatically identify company‘s relevant

literature

• Rule set:

– Mentionings of company‘s indications, products, etc.

– Competitor products and indications

– „Testosterone, but only given externally“

– „Products shall not be found in an enumeration“

Main Challenge: what is positive, what is

negative?

– „Could somebody please remove the dead bird from the

balcony“?

– „From the breadcrumbs lying under the bed one could live for

ages“

– „The hotel is situated in the crowdiest party district of the town“

– „The toilets were that big that I couldn‘t sit down for …“
