Reviewing monitor results
This is a short guide to how you can review results in Amplified as part of a regular monitor or technology alert. Here's an overview of the most commonly used features for monitor review:
- Select one or more results and manually Add tags to them to mark them as Positive or Negative
- Turn Predicted tags into Positive or Negative tags
- Ask questions or leave comments in the Discuss panel (@mention users to send them a notification)
- Click on Notes to add a note (notes become part of your knowledge archive and you'll be able to see them if the same patent comes up in a different project)
- Highlight and Annotate specific text inside a patent (click on a patent's title to open it's full text page and highlight any text)
- Annotations can be copied into the Discuss for easy referencing
Using tags to record your review
In a monitor we'll use Tags to keep track of our review. Every Monitor has one or more required Tags which you can see from the Monitor page. In the example below, we want to review results to determine if they are relevant to Product Group 1
or not.
To do this, we'll first select the patents we want to tag with Product Group 1
, click on Actions
, and then select Add tags
.
Now we can select the tag(s) that we want to add. You can click on the text box and select from the dropdown or start typing to search for your tag.
Note that we're adding these as Positive tags because these results are relevant to our tag, Product Group 1
. To mark patents as not relevant you can select Negative. This helps avoid wasting time in the future.
Once you've selected your tag(s) just click on Add these tags.
Reviewing predicted tags
Some monitor projects may have a custom classifier to semi-automate the review process. In this case you'll see Predicted tags with a confidence score like in the screenshot below.
Green tags are predicted positive and red are predicted negative. The number next to the tag is a score showing how confident the classifier is. To review the tag simply click on the checkmark to mark it positive or the X to mark is as negative. Below is what the screen will look like after marking the tags as positive and negative.
Over time the custom classifier will become more accurate as it learns from your positive and negative review. And there you go! You're done with reviewing these results. Of course, if you have questions or more detailed observations then you can use the Discuss panel to share those.
