New PHAGE encoder captures patent claim hierarchy for better analysis

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed PHAGE, a novel graph encoder designed to better represent patent documents. Unlike previous methods that linearize claims and lose hierarchical information, PHAGE explicitly encodes the dependency structure between patent claims. It distinguishes between different types of claim relationships and integrates this topological information into a token-level attention mechanism. This approach significantly improves performance on patent classification, retrieval, and clustering tasks. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new method for encoding complex document structures, potentially improving AI's ability to analyze legal and technical documents.

    PHAGE: Patent Heterogeneous Attention-Guided Graph Encoder for Representation Learning

    Patent claims form a directed dependency structure in which dependent claims inherit and refine the scope of earlier claims; however, existing patent encoders linearize claims as text and discard this hierarchy. Directly encoding this structure into self-attention poses two chall…
