The 2013 International Conference on Trends for Scientific Information Professionals Conference (ICIC) was held last week in Vienna, Austria. More than 120 patent and scientific information professionals, from around the world, gathered to hear three days worth of presentations on the latest trends in field. For those of you who have not heard of the ICIC before, the following is a description from the organizers:
For those in the sci-tech world, sharing best practices, networking and evaluating trends have become matters of considerable importance, and the annual ICIC Meeting & Exhibition is the significant forum for this, attracting attendees from the main sci-tech companies and information, service or software providers.
The traditional focus of the ICIC programmes is subjects of interest to information professionals in a scientific or technical environment. As in previous years, this year’s programme contains a number of presentations examining aspects of patent information retrieval, including drug discovery; patent information presents many challenges and is thus an excellent test-bed when it comes to information technology. The ICIC meeting’s roots in chemical information also ensure that that area features prominently; chemical information was one of the first fields to attract modern information technologies back at the end of the nineteenth century and the very beginning of the twentieth.
I was pleased to participate in the conference this year and at the last minute changed the topic of my presentation from a tactical one on using IBM’s Many Eyes in patent analytics to something a little more philosophical. The new title was A Sea Change is Coming to Patent Analytics – Brought to You by Big Data. A link to my slides from SlideShare can be found below:
As I was putting the original presentation together I was reminded how frequently, especially in the last two to three years, the tools and techniques of Big Data have been applied to the field of patent analytics. I see this trend continuing as the organizations that build databases and search/analysis systems for the field start to incorporate new data structures and multi-processor processes into the tools they provide. I also see the potential for patent analysts to observe what is being done by data scientists working in other fields and applying these techniques, and the tools associated with them, to the work we do. Since the ICIC has always been about forward-thinking ideas, and trends, I felt that the revised topic would fit better with the theme of the meeting.
There were a few of us tweeting notes during the meeting so for those of you who were unable to attend, but are interested in what transpired, a list of the presentations provided on each day, along with the corresponding tweets is provided. A similar format was used in the previous post covering the PIUG NE Conference. Links to download all of the presentations, or view them on SlideShare can be found at the URLs below:
