This second edition provides a systematic introduction to the work
and views of the emerging patent-search research and innovation
communities as well as an overview of what has been achieved and,
perhaps even more importantly, of what remains to be achieved. It
revises many of the contributions of the first edition and adds a
significant number of new ones. The first part "Introduction to
Patent Searching" includes two overview chapters on the
peculiarities of patent searching and on contemporary search
technology respectively, and thus sets the scene for the subsequent
parts. The second part on "Evaluating Patent Retrieval" then begins
with two chapters dedicated to patent evaluation campaigns,
followed by two chapters discussing complementary issues from the
perspective of patent searchers and from the perspective of related
domains, notably legal search. "High Recall Search" includes four
completely new chapters dealing with the issue of finding only the
relevant documents in a reasonable time span. The last (and with
six papers the largest) part on "Special Topics in Patent
Information Retrieval" covers a large spectrum of research in the
patent field, from classification and image processing to
translation. Lastly, the book is completed by an outlook on open
issues and future research. Several of the chapters have been
jointly written by intellectual property and information retrieval
experts. However, members of both communities with a background
different to that of the primary author have reviewed the chapters,
making the book accessible to both the patent search community and
to the information retrieval research community. It also not only
offers the latest findings for academic researchers, but is also a
valuable resource for IP professionals wanting to learn about
current IR approaches in the patent domain.

This open access book summarizes the first two decades of the NII
Testbeds and Community for Information access Research (NTCIR).
NTCIR is a series of evaluation forums run by a global team of
researchers and hosted by the National Institute of Informatics
(NII), Japan. The book is unique in that it discusses not just what
was done at NTCIR, but also how it was done and the impact it has
achieved. For example, in some chapters the reader sees the early
seeds of what eventually grew to be the search engines that provide
access to content on the World Wide Web, today's smartphones that
can tailor what they show to the needs of their owners, and the
smart speakers that enrich our lives at home and on the move. We
also get glimpses into how new search engines can be built for
mathematical formulae, or for the digital record of a lived human
life. Key to the success of the NTCIR endeavor was early
recognition that information access research is an empirical
discipline and that evaluation therefore lay at the core of the
enterprise. Evaluation is thus at the heart of each chapter in this
book. They show, for example, how the recognition that some
documents are more important than others has shaped thinking about
evaluation design. The thirty-three contributors to this volume
speak for the many hundreds of researchers from dozens of countries
around the world who together shaped NTCIR as organizers and
participants. This book is suitable for researchers, practitioners,
and students-anyone who wants to learn about past and present
evaluation efforts in information retrieval, information access,
and natural language processing, as well as those who want to
participate in an evaluation task or even to design and organize
one.
