A Structured Generation Framework for Transforming Scientific Papers into Patent
The paper presents FlowPlan-G2P, a structured generation framework that converts scientific papers into patent descriptions. It decomposes the transformation into concept graph induction, section-level planning, and graph-conditioned generation. Experimental results show the approach outperforms standard models when evaluated on legal compliance criteria.
- ▪FlowPlan-G2P introduces a graph-mediated pipeline to translate scientific papers into patent language.
- ▪The pipeline consists of three stages: extracting a concept graph, partitioning it into section-aligned subgraphs, and generating text conditioned on these subgraphs.
- ▪Standard natural language generation metrics were found to favor legally non‑compliant outputs, prompting a domain‑specific evaluation.
- ▪Under this evaluation, FlowPlan‑G2P consistently surpasses vanilla proprietary models, highlighting the importance of structured decomposition over model size.
