Patent number: 11120362Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to identifying a product in a document. A computing machine accesses a product mention in a scientific or research-related text, the product mention including one or more attribute values for a plurality of attributes, each attribute being associated with either a single attribute value or no attribute value. The computing machine determines that the attribute values of the product mention correspond to two or more candidate product matches in a product directory. The computing machine identifies, based at least in part on stored data related to the scientific or research-related text, a product match from among the candidate product matches, the product match corresponding to the product mention in the scientific or research-related text. The computing machine provides an output of the product match for storage in conjunction with the product mention in the scientific or research-related text.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: ResearchGate GmbHInventors: Viacheslav Zholudev, Darren Alvares, Niall Kelly, Tilo Mathes, Axel Tölke, Vincenz Priesnitz, Thoralf Klein

Patent number: 11048707Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to identifying a product in a document. A server accesses a document including scientific or research-related text. The server divides the document into a plurality of tokens, each token comprising a part of the text that logically comprises a unit of information. The server computes, for each token in the plurality of tokens, a score corresponding to whether the token corresponds to a commercial product, the score being computed based on a list of features of commercial products and weights assigned to features in the list. The server determines that the score exceeds a threshold score. The server provides, in response to determining that the score exceeds the threshold score, an output representing that the token corresponds to the commercial product.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: ResearchGate GmbHInventors: Viacheslav Zholudev, Darren Alvares, Niall Kelly, Tilo Mathes, Axel Tölke, Vincenz Priesnitz, Thoralf Klein

Patent number: 10990631Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to linking documents using citations. A server accesses a stored document in a data repository. The server determines a set of candidate citing documents that cite the stored document. The server obtains, for each candidate citing document from the set, first information representing an impact of the candidate citing document taken as a whole and second information representing a citation context within the candidate citing document. The server determines a subset of citing documents, from the set of candidate citing documents, based on the obtained first information and the obtained second information. The server provides a digital transmission of the stored document, including visible indicia of the subset of citing documents, for display at a client device.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: ResearchGate GmbHInventors: Vyacheslav Zholudev, Michael Häusler, Ijad Madisch, Horst Fickenscher, Darren Alvares
