Before revision: Purpose: This study aims to provide a hybrid approach for patent claim classificationwith Sentence-BERT (SBERT) and K Nearest Neighbours (KNN) and explicitly focuses on the patent claims.
After revision: This study provides an efficient approach for using text data to calculate patent-to-patent (p2p) technological similarity, and presents a hybrid framework for leveraging the resulting p2p similarity for applications such as semantic search and automated patent classification. We create embeddings using Sentence-BERT (SBERT) and K Nearest Neighbours (KNN) and explicitly focuses on the patent claims.
