BoostCLIR: JP-EN Relevance Marked Patent Corpushttps://doi.org/10.11588/data/10001Sokolov, ArtemJehl LauraHieber FelixRuppert, EugenRiezler, StefanheiDATA2014-06-162017-04-05T14:25:02ZBoostCLIR is a bilingual (Japanese-English) corpus of patent abstracts, extracted from the
<a href='http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/imp/marec.shtml'>MAREC</a> patent data, and the data from the <a href='http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/data/data-en.html'>NTCIR PatentMT workshop</a> collections, accompanied with relevance judgements for the task of patent prior-art search. <br /><br /> <strong>Important:</strong> The English side of the corpus contains patent IDs as well as the text of the abstracts. The Japanese side only contains patent IDs because of NTCIR copyright restrictions. The Jap
anese patent abstracts can be extracted from full text Japanese patent documents, which are available from the organizers of the NTCIR workshop.
<br /><br /> The corpus contains training, development and testing subsets sampled from non-intersecting time periods. <br /><br /> Relevance judgement for patent retrieval are constructed from patent citations by assigning three integer levels to three categories of relationships, with highest relevance (3) for family patents, lower relevance for patents cited in search reports by patent examiners (2), and lowest relevance level (1) for applicants’ citations. <br /><br /> For a detailed descrip
tion of the corpus construction process, please see the above publication.Computer and Information ScienceArtem Sokolov, Laura Jehl, Felix Hieber, Stefan Riezler.
