Hi PANORAMA authors and community β€” first, thank you for this dataset. The
decision-trail framing and the claim-level NOC4PC task are genuinely useful.

While working with NOC4PC I noticed the task is text-only, even though real
examiners rely heavily on the drawings of both the application and the cited
prior art. So I built a multimodal extension and released it (with full credit to
your work, under the same CC-BY-NC-4.0 license):

What it adds

  • The drawings for both the patent application and*every cited prior-art
    reference, rendered from the original USPTO PDFs (120 dpi, all pages).
  • Each NOC4PC row gets two new columns β€” application_image_ids and
    prior_art_image_ids β€” so a model can see the figures the examiner compared.

Structure (reference layout, like VQAv2 / DocVQA)
Because the same drawing is shared by many claim-level rows, embedding per row
would balloon the dataset past 600 GB. Instead I store each unique drawing once
and reference it by image_id:

  • config noc4pc β€” original fields + application_image_ids[] + prior_art_image_ids[]
    (train 136,211 / val 7,392 / test 2,884)
  • config drawings β€” 298,935 unique drawing pages with datasets.Image (β‰ˆ 39 GB)
