Possible Topics

Here are some the possible topics we've been exploring:
1. Patent Mapping using text mining techniques
- Show how a company's IP holdings are - strength in which technologies
- How has the company's IP map changed over time?
- How an external event (like a takeover of a company) changed it's IP portfolio? Has it changed the direction of the company's portfolio aftersome time (do they continue to build upon it)?

2. Automatic Classification of documents to a standard ontology (using text mining)
- Use Vidyanidhi's Thesis collection to classifiy it into the standard ontologies
- Classify IBID news articles into the SIC
