Semantic Search for Intellectual Property Solutions
LexisNexis(R) Semantic Search powered by PureDiscovery can help improve your search results by adding concepts that relate to your search query. You can then review the concepts suggested, assign relative importance (weighting), eliminate concepts you don’t wish to use, and even add more concepts of your own. Once you run the semantic search and review the results, you can narrow your search using either semantic or Boolean searching.
- Save time—enter what you do know about the technology or topic you’re researching. Then let the semantic technology uncover related concepts and terms.
- Greater recall—utilize the semantic search option to bring more results to you that are related to your search query, whether or not you used the specific terms in your initial search.
- Greater precision—by combining Boolean and semantic search technology, your results will be highly relevant to the technology or topic you are researching, even when terms used in the patent or non-patent prior art is vague or obscure.
- Full transparency—you do not have to guess what’s being done away from your view and control. The terms and concepts suggested by the semantic technology are returned to you for your review before the actual search is run.
- Greater control—you are in complete control of editing and prioritizing the terms and concepts you choose to include in your research.
