- Title: Creating a silver standard for patent simplification
- Authors: Silvia Casola, Alberto Lavelli, Horacio Saggion
- Abstract summary: Patents are legal documents that aim at protecting inventions on the one hand and at making technical knowledge circulate on the other.
Their style -- a mix of legal, technical, and extremely vague language -- makes their content hard to access for humans and machines.
This paper proposes an approach to automatically simplify patent text through rephrasing.

- Abstract: Patents are legal documents that aim at protecting inventions on the one hand
and at making technical knowledge circulate on the other. Their complex style
-- a mix of legal, technical, and extremely vague language -- makes their
content hard to access for humans and machines and poses substantial challenges
to the information retrieval community. This paper proposes an approach to
automatically simplify patent text through rephrasing. Since no in-domain
parallel simplification data exist, we propose a method to automatically
generate a large-scale silver standard for patent sentences. To obtain
candidates, we use a general-domain paraphrasing system; however, the process
is error-prone and difficult to control. Thus, we pair it with proper filters
and construct a cleaner corpus that can successfully be used to train a
simplification system. Human evaluation of the synthetic silver corpus shows
that it is considered grammatical, adequate, and contains simple sentences.

Text Simplification improves the readability of sentences through several rewriting transformations, such as lexical paraphrasing, deletion, and splitting.
Current simplification systems are predominantly sequence-to-sequence models that are trained end-to-end to perform all these operations simultaneously.
We propose a novel hybrid approach that leverages linguistically-motivated rules for splitting and deletion, and couples them with a neural paraphrasing model to produce varied rewriting styles.
