Introduction of a novel word embedding approach based on technology labels extracted from patent data (2102.00425v1)

Abstract: Diversity in patent language is growing and makes finding synonyms for conducting patent searches more and more challenging. In addition to that, most approaches for dealing with diverse patent language are based on manual search and human intuition. In this paper, a word embedding approach using statistical analysis of human labeled data to produce accurate and language independent word vectors for technical terms is introduced. This paper focuses on the explanation of the idea behind the statistical analysis and shows first qualitative results. The resulting algorithm is a development of the former EQMania UG (eqmania.com) and can be tested under eqalice.com until April 2021.
