Overview
Evaluating Information Retrieval techniques in the Intellectual Property domain.
The CLEF-IP track was launched in 2009 to investigate IR techniques for patent retrieval. After a successful first year, the track continues in 2010 as a benchmarking activity at the coming CLEF 2010 conference.
The track will utilize a slightly larger data collection as in CLEF-IP'09, of patent documents derived from EPO sources, covering English, French, and German patents.
Two kinds of tasks are planned for 2010:
- Prior Art Candidate Search Task: find patent documents that are likely to constitute prior art to a given patent application.
- Classification Task: classify a given patent document according to the IPC.
