• Title: Summarization, Simplification, and Generation: The Case of Patents
• Authors: Silvia Casola and Alberto Lavelli
• Abstract summary: This survey aims at a) describing patents' characteristics and the questions they raise to the current NLP systems, b) critically presenting previous work and its evolution, and c) drawing attention to directions of research in which further work is needed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first survey of generative approaches in the patent domain.

• Abstract: We survey Natural Language Processing (NLP) approaches to summarizing, simplifying, and generating patents' text. While solving these tasks has important practical applications - given patents' centrality in the R&D process - patents' idiosyncrasies open peculiar challenges to the current NLP state of the art. This survey aims at a) describing patents' characteristics and the questions they raise to the current NLP systems, b) critically presenting previous work and its evolution, and c) drawing attention to directions of research in which further work is needed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first survey of generative approaches in the patent domain.

  We present PAP2PAT, a new challenging benchmark of 1.8k patent-paper pairs with document outlines. Our experiments with current open-weight LLMs and outline-guided generation show that they can effectively use information from the paper but struggle with repetitions, likely due to the inherent repetitiveness of patent language.

  Existing large language models (LLMs) often fall short in this IP creation domain due to their lack of specialized knowledge and context-awareness. We propose a groundbreaking framework for Knowledge Fine-Tuning (KFT) of LLMs, designed to endow AI with the ability to autonomously mine, understand, and apply domain-specific knowledge. Our model, PatentGPT, has demonstrated outstanding performance, scoring up to approximately 400% higher in patent related benchmark tests compared to state-of-the-art models.
