Abstract

This paper presents experiments which initially were carried out for the Patent Passage Retrieval track of CLEF-IP 2012. The Passage Retrieval module was implemented independently of the Document Retrieval system. In the Passage Retrieval module we make use of Natural Language Processing applications (WordNet and Stanford Part-of-Speech tagger) for lemmatization and phrase (multi word units) retrieval. We show by applying simple rule-based modifications and only targeting specific language instances (noun phrases) the usage of general NLP tools for phrase retrieval will increase performance of a Patent Passage Information Extraction system.
