Manual evaluation of patents (and MOLTO at MTSummit)

Submitted by cristina.españa on 23 September, 2011 - 09:17

The MTSummit 2011 has been this week, including a workshop specialised on patent translation. MOLTO has been presented with talk at the workshop.

There have been presentations of the most important patents offices and, as expected, all of them apply manual evaluation to their translations. It seems interesting to us to use similar criteria to theirs in our evaluation.

EPO gives OK for the patent corpus

Submitted by aarne.ranta on 9 September, 2011 - 14:31

We have now received OK from the EPO to proceed in getting a better license for the patent corpus we need for carrying out our work in WP5 and WP7. This means that we can publish the results more freely than with the previous, personal license.

First patent internal milestone accomplished

Submitted by adam.slaski on 12 April, 2011 - 15:56

We have succeeded in parsing with a small GF grammar the first example claim which reads Mouse complement-fixing monoclonal antibody which (i) reacts with essentially all normal human peripheral T-cells but (ii) does not react with any of the normal human peripheral cells in the group comprising b cells, null cells and macrophages.

Difficulties included reducing number of ambiguities from over 100 ASTs to 4, witch are all reasonable. That was done by introducing a hierarchy of Common Noun objects. The demo of the patents project will be given on May the 3rd. Everyone is invited.
