## Summary

***********

**milestone1:** https://github.com/aye-thuzar/CS670Project/blob/main/README_milestone_1.md

**milestone2:** https://github.com/aye-thuzar/CS670Project/blob/main/README_milestone-2.md

Dataset: https://github.com/suzgunmirac/hupd

**Data Preprocessing**

 I used the load_dataset function to load all the patent applications that were filed to the USPTO in January 2016. We specify the date ranges of the training and validation sets as January 1-21, 2016 and January 22-31, 2016, respectively. This is a smaller dataset.

 There are two datasets: train and validation. Here are the steps I did:

 - Label-to-index mapping for the decision status field
 - map the 'abstract' and 'claims' sections and tokenize them using pretrained('distilbert-base-uncased') tokenizer
 - format them
 - use DataLoader with batch_size = 16

**milestone3:**

The following notebook has the tuned model. There are 6 classes in the Harvard USPTO patent dataset and I decided to encode them as follow:

decision_to_str = {'REJECTED': 0, 'ACCEPTED': 1, 'PENDING': 1, 'CONT-REJECTED': 0, 'CONT-ACCEPTED': 1, 'CONT-PENDING': 1}

so that I can get a patentability score between 0 and 1.

I use the pertained-model 'distilbert-base-uncased' from the Hugging face hub and tune it with the smaller dataset.

The average accuracy of the validation set is about 89%.
