      1st International CIKM Workshop on Patent Information Retrieval -
PaIR'08

                  Oct 30, 2008 Napa Valley, USA

**********************************************************************

 

Scope of the Workshop

 

Patent Information Retrieval specialists in the 21st century face many
challenges. They

must search very large numbers of documents in multiple languages,
expressing complex

technological concepts through sophisticated legal clauses. Despite a
great deal of

theoretical development in Information Retrieval techniques, advanced
search tools for

patent professionals are still in their infancy. The objective of the
workshop is to provide

a forum for Information Retrieval and Knowledge Management scientists as
well as

Patent Retrieval experts from industry to study the next generation of
patent search

tools. We encourage IP professionals to present their special
information needs and

IR&KM researchers to present relevant technical ideas, for example for
high recall search

in prior art searching. We will also promote exchange of ideas on
measuring the progress

of system performance for retrieval tasks in the intellectual property
domain. The

outcome of this workshop will be incorporated into a TREC track
including patent search,

which is planned for 2009.
