1.         MOTIVATION
     The importance of exploiting knowledge in patents is
constantly increasing. A large percentage of the most recent
                                                                      2.        WORKSHOP SCOPE
                                                                           The topics of the workshop include but were not limited to
technical knowledge is only available in patent documents.
                                                                      the following:
Patent mining and the automatic analysis of large numbers of

This workshop wants to identify current innovative research in                 Prescriptive Analytics
patent mining and build a map of research and needs. Another
topic will be the discussion about evaluation approaches to patent             Approaches to deal with patent terminology

retrieval from patents (NTCIR, CLEF-IP, TREC Chem).
However, there are few benchmarks for evaluating applications                  User interfaces for patent mining
with vaguely defined goals as involved in patent mining.
                                                                               Issues on developing benchmarks for patent mining
Some of the basic assumptions for information retrieval and text

mining need to be revisited for patent mining. Due to the nature
                                                                                approaches
of patent documents, innovative approaches need to be taken for
automatic analysis of patents and in general for big data analytics            Advanced Information Retrieval Approaches using
of scientific content.                                                          Patent Analytics
