Sparse Coverage is an unsupervised semantic retrieval framework designed for patent prior‑art search. It maps local span embeddings to a sparse vocabulary of embedding‑space centers chosen via a coverage‑oriented k‑center objective, allowing spans to activate nearby centers and produce sparse representations that work with inverted‑index retrieval. Experiments on CLEF‑IP 2013 demonstrate that Sparse Coverage matches or surpasses dense patent encoders in document‑level recall while remaining competitive at the passage level, making it an effective first‑stage retrieval approach for patent search.

arXiv:2604. 19047v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing QA benchmarks typically assume distinct documents with minimal overlap, yet real-world retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems operate on corpora such as financial reports, legal codes, and patents, where information is highly redundant and documents exhibit strong inter-document similarity.

Highlights provide a concise summary of the main contributions of an academic paper and help readers quickly understand its focus. However, many journals do not provide highlights, which limits their use in literature retrieval, text mining, and bibliometric analysis.
arXiv:2606. 28353v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Linking FDA-approved medical devices to their underlying United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patents enables critical applications such as recall root-cause analysis, M&A-driven IP discovery, and technology trajectory mapping.
