Overview
The 1st International Workshop on Advances in Patent Information Retrieval (AsPIRe'10) will be collocated with the ECIR 2010.
Patent Information Retrieval is a cross cutting research area as it contains domains such as multilingual information retrieval, image processing and retrieval, language processing, and text categorisation, clustering and mining. The main goal of the workshop is to gather scientists from these areas together to foster the collaboration among such interdisciplinary areas and spark discussions on open topics related to Information Retrieval and Machine Translation in the Intellectual Property domain in order to advance the current state-of-the-art of patent search tools.
A collection of 400,000 patent documents - a subset of the MAREC dataset - is available for download to potential participants of the workshop. [read more]
