• Paper: BIGPATENT: A Large-Scale Dataset for Abstractive and Coherent Summarization

Dataset Summary

BIGPATENT, consisting of 1.3 million records of U.S. patent documents along with human written abstractive summaries. Each US patent application is filed under a Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) code. There are nine such classification categories:

• a: Human Necessities
• b: Performing Operations; Transporting
• c: Chemistry; Metallurgy
• d: Textiles; Paper
• e: Fixed Constructions
• f: Mechanical Engineering; Lightning; Heating; Weapons; Blasting
• g: Physics
• h: Electricity
• y: General tagging of new or cross-sectional technology

Current defaults are 2.1.2 version (fix update to cased raw strings) and 'all' CPC codes:

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("big_patent")  # default is 'all' CPC codes
ds = load_dataset("big_patent", "all")  # the same as above
ds = load_dataset("big_patent", "a")  # only 'a' CPC codes

from datasets import concatenate_datasets

# Concatenate multiple codes
ds = concatenate_datasets([
    load_dataset("big_patent", "a", split="train"),
    load_dataset("big_patent", "b", split="train"),
])

To use 1.0.0 version (lower cased tokenized words), use an older revision of this dataset and pass both parameters codes and version:

revision = "e807b1d5492aa5f4fac08f3f6c7c85c72887ca12"
ds = load_dataset("big_patent", codes="all", version="1.0.0", revision=revision)
ds = load_dataset("big_patent", codes="a", version="1.0.0", revision=revision)

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

Each instance contains a pair of description and abstract. description is extracted from the Description section of the Patent while abstract is extracted from the Abstract section.

{
  'description': 'FIELD OF THE INVENTION  \n       [0001]     This invention relates to novel calcium phosphate-coated implantable medical devices and processes of making same. The unique calcium-phosphate coated implantable medical devices minimize...',
  'abstract': 'This invention relates to novel calcium phosphate-coated implantable medical devices...'
}

Data Fields
