JPO Patent Corpus for WAT2018-2021

[HOME]

INTRODUCTION

JPO Patent Corpus was constructed by the Japan Patent Office (JPO). This corpus consists of a Chinese-Japanese, Korean-Japanese, and English-Japanese patent description corpus of 1M parallel sentences with four sections, which are Chemistry (Ch), Electricity (El), Mechanical engineering (Me), and Physics (Ph), based on International Patent Classification (IPC).

DETAIL

Datasets for Normal Tasks

These tasks evaluate performance of a translation model for each language pair. Differing from the previous patent tasks at WAT2016-2017, new test sets are added as follows:

Datasets for Expression Pattern Task

This task evaluates performance of a translation model for each predifined category of expression patterns, which corresponds to title of invention (TIT), abstract (ABS), scope of claim (CLM) or description (DES). Train/dev/devtest sets are the same data as those of the normal C<-->J tasks. Test set of this task consists of sentences each of which is annotated with a corresponding category of expression patterns.
