PatentsView, OCE’s patent data visualization and analysis platform, hosts workshops focusing on improving the quality and availability of patent data. Recent workshops have revealed many potential improvements to several critical aspects of patent data, including entity resolution for disambiguating inventors, assignees and legal entities.
USPTO Symposium on entity resolution
March 22, 24, and 26, 2021
Event web site: USPTO Symposium on Entity Resolution
The symposium brought together computer scientists, information scientists, economists, and others to discuss state-of-the-art approaches to, and current practices and applications of, entity resolution, with a particular focus on patent applications. The goals of the symposium were (1) to provide an overview of current approaches from leading scholars in the field; (2) to build knowledge; (3) to identify a community of practitioners; and (4) to facilitate the application of common approaches.
