Benchmarking Patent Embeddings: A Multi-Task Evaluation of 22 Models Across Retrieval, Classification, and Clustering
Amirhossein Yousefiramandi, Ciaran Cooney
Two questions regarding practitioners' use of patent embeddings arise: (i) Does one fine-tuning recipe suffice for all downstream applications? (ii) Is fine-tuning on one patent la…
When Does Synthetic Patent Data Help? Volume-Fidelity Trade-offs in Low-Resource Multi-Label Classification
Amirhossein Yousefiramandi, Ciaran Cooney
The issues that must be considered regarding the utilization of synthetic data generated through LLMs for multilabel patent classification include (i) when the use of such data may…
Fine-Tuning Causal LLMs for Text Classification: Embedding-Based vs. Instruction-Based Approaches
Amirhossein Yousefiramandi, Ciaran Cooney
We explore efficient strategies to fine-tune decoder-only Large Language Models (LLMs) for downstream text classification under resource constraints. Two approaches are investigate…
Patent Language Model Pretraining with ModernBERT
Amirhossein Yousefiramandi, Ciaran Cooney
Transformer-based language models such as BERT have become foundational in NLP, yet their performance degrades in specialized domains like patents, which contain long, technical, a…
