AsPIRe'10 CALL FOR PAPERS The 1st International Workshop on Advances in Patent Information Retrieval (AsPIRe'10) will be collocated with the ECIR 2010 (European Conference on Information Retrieval). 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 categorization, 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. For more information, see the workshop webpage: http://www.ir-facility.org/events/irf-workshops/aspire201910 Further information on the ECIR is here: http://kmi.open.ac.uk/events/ecir2010 We plan to make a subset of 440,000 documents of the MAREC patent data corpus available soon. Participants are encouraged to apply the techniques they develop to this dataset, where possible. This will allow the results of the presented techniques applied to the same dataset to be compared. More information on MAREC is here: http://www.ir-facility.org/services/data/matrixware-research-collection TOPICS: Research papers should be on one or more of the following topics, with an emphasis on application to the Intellectual Property (Patent) domain: * Semantic Annotation of Patents * Patent Claim Analysis * Ontology Engineering * Corpus Analysis * Patent Categorization * Clustering and Visualization * Patent Image Search * Bibliographic Search, Network Analysis * Machine Translation * Cross-lingual Information Retrieval * Digital Libraries for Patent Literature * Case Studies * Challenges in Patent Search * Information Need of the Patent Searcher Instructions for paper submission will appear on the website soon.
