Natural Language Processing (NLP) Breakthrough for Patent Analysis

Submitted by Pamela Schaepe on Mon, 01/30/2012 - 9:03am

Patent defense research is a thorny domain for search engines because of the convoluted sentence structure of patent claims and the use of language that is deliberately obtuse. Arity has developed new NLP techniques for cracking the veiled references through parsing and inference strategies, and then generating a first draft representation of the search criteria – a rich multi-dimensional query matrix – that locates good matches to the sought-after cohort of ideas. Stay tuned. A major product announcement will be made shortly.

A few weeks ago the New York Times published an article entitled "Sharing of Data Leads to Progress on Alzheimers" (by Gina Kolata). It states, "The key to the Alzheimer's project was an agreement as ambitious as its goal: not just to raise money, not just to do research on a vast scale, but also to share all the data, making every single finding public immediately, available to anyone with a computer anywhere in the world." Other disease research advocates are joining the call to commit to pool research so that answers come sooner rather than later.

Arity's EXPRESSway product can leap that process forward. This is a collaborative environment where strategies and results are shared, expertise pooled, scientific literature analyzed, linked data connected, and provenance of ideas tracked. We're working on a template for a Parkinson's Disease Notebook. If you are interested in disease research advocacy, send us a note. Let's talk.
