PatentsView Inventor Disambiguation Technical Workshop

On behalf of the US Patent & Trademark Office, the American Institutes for Research (AIR) is hosting an inventor disambiguation technical workshop.  USPTO is seeking creative new approaches to get better information on innovators and the new technologies they develop by disambiguating inventor names.

AIR invites individual researchers or research teams to develop inventor disambiguation algorithms using US patent data. The top fifteen teams will be invited to present their results at the final workshop, which will be held at USPTO headquarters September 23 and 24.  The researcher or team that contributes the most effective algorithm will receive a $25,000 stipend.

July 1st is the Deadline for prospective participants to submit a 1-page “intent to participate” document. This includes any requests to incorporate additional data, software, or hardware requirements. All teams with proposals deemed to be reasonable (by the judges’ panel) will be invited to participate.

Additional information is posted at www.dev.patentsview.org/workshop, together with the training datasets.
