A three-phase patent retrieval pipeline achieved 100% recall on five examiner-cited test queries, but the score is driven by post hoc cutoff choices and a candidate set that already contains the target patents.

abstract
This paper describes a new method to extract relevant keywords from patent claims, as part of the task of retrieving other patents with similar claims (search for prior art). The method combines a qualitative analysis of the writing style of the claims with NLP methods to parse text, in order to represent a legal text as a specialization arborescence of terms. In this setting, the set of extracted keywords are yielding better search results than keywords extracted with traditional methods such as tf-idf. The performance is measured on the search results of a query consisting of the extracted keywords.

FullRecall: A Semantic Search-Based Ranking Approach for Maximizing Recall in Patent Retrieval
A three-phase patent retrieval pipeline achieved 100% recall on five examiner-cited test queries, but the score is driven by post hoc cutoff choices and a candidate set that already contains the target patents.
