Abstract

The CLEF-IP track was launched in 2009 to investigate IR techniques for patent retrieval, as part of the CLEF 2009 evaluation campaign. We built a system in order to participate in the CLEF-IP track. Our system has three main components: a filtering module, an indexing module, and a search module. Because the process of indexing all of the 75 GB of input patent documents took almost one day, we decided to work in a peer-to-peer environment with four computers. The problems encountered were related to the identification of relevant fields to be used for indexing and in the search processes.
