| # SPARKNET Document Analysis Issue - RESOLVED | |
| ## π Root Cause Analysis | |
| **Issue**: Patent analysis showing generic placeholders instead of actual patent information: | |
| - Title: "Patent Analysis" (instead of real patent title) | |
| - Abstract: "Abstract not available" | |
| - Generic/incomplete data throughout | |
| **Root Cause**: **Users were uploading non-patent documents** (e.g., Microsoft Windows documentation, press releases, etc.) instead of actual patent documents. | |
| When SPARKNET tried to extract patent structure (title, abstract, claims) from non-patent documents, the extraction failed and fell back to default placeholder values. | |
| --- | |
| ## β Solution Implemented | |
| ### 1. **Document Type Validator Created** | |
| **File**: `/home/mhamdan/SPARKNET/src/utils/document_validator.py` | |
| **Features**: | |
| - Validates uploaded documents are actually patents | |
| - Checks for patent keywords (patent, claim, abstract, invention, etc.) | |
| - Checks for required sections (abstract, numbered claims) | |
| - Identifies document type if not a patent | |
| - Provides detailed error messages | |
| **Usage**: | |
| ```python | |
| from src.utils.document_validator import validate_and_log | |
| # Validate document | |
| is_valid = validate_and_log(document_text, "my_patent.pdf") | |
| if not is_valid: | |
| # Document is not a patent - warn user | |
| ``` | |
| ### 2. **Integration with DocumentAnalysisAgent** | |
| **File**: `/home/mhamdan/SPARKNET/src/agents/scenario1/document_analysis_agent.py` | |
| **Changes**: Added automatic validation after text extraction (line 233-234) | |
| Now when you upload a document, SPARKNET will: | |
| 1. Extract the text | |
| 2. Validate it's actually a patent | |
| 3. Log warnings if it's not a patent | |
| 4. Proceed with analysis (but results will be limited for non-patents) | |
| ### 3. **Sample Patent Document Created** | |
| **File**: `/home/mhamdan/SPARKNET/uploads/patents/SAMPLE_AI_DRUG_DISCOVERY_PATENT.txt` | |
| A comprehensive sample patent document for testing: | |
| - **Title**: "AI-Powered Drug Discovery Platform Using Machine Learning" | |
| - **Patent Number**: US20210123456 | |
| - **Complete structure**: Abstract, 7 numbered claims, detailed description | |
| - **Inventors**, **Assignees**, **Filing dates**, **IPC classification** | |
| - **~10,000 words** of realistic patent content | |
| --- | |
| ## π§ͺ How to Test the Fix | |
| ### Option 1: Test with Sample Patent (Recommended) | |
| The sample patent is already in your uploads folder: | |
| ```bash | |
| # Upload this file through the SPARKNET UI: | |
| /home/mhamdan/SPARKNET/uploads/patents/SAMPLE_AI_DRUG_DISCOVERY_PATENT.txt | |
| ``` | |
| **Expected Results**: | |
| - **Title**: "AI-Powered Drug Discovery Platform Using Machine Learning" | |
| - **Abstract**: Full abstract about AI drug discovery | |
| - **TRL Level**: 6 (with detailed justification) | |
| - **Claims**: 7 independent/dependent claims extracted | |
| - **Innovations**: Neural network architecture, generative AI, multi-omic data integration | |
| - **Technical Domains**: Pharmaceutical chemistry, AI/ML, computational biology | |
| ### Option 2: Download Real Patent from USPTO | |
| ```bash | |
| # Example: Download a real USPTO patent | |
| curl -o my_patent.pdf "https://image-ppubs.uspto.gov/dirsearch-public/print/downloadPdf/10123456" | |
| ``` | |
| Then upload through SPARKNET UI. | |
| ### Option 3: Use Google Patents | |
| 1. Go to: https://patents.google.com/ | |
| 2. Search for any patent (e.g., "artificial intelligence drug discovery") | |
| 3. Click on a patent | |
| 4. Download PDF | |
| 5. Upload to SPARKNET | |

| ## π Backend Validation Logs | |
| After uploading a document, check the backend logs to see validation: | |
| **For valid patents**, you'll see: | |
| ``` | |
| β uploads/patents/SAMPLE_AI_DRUG_DISCOVERY_PATENT.txt appears to be a valid patent | |
| ``` | |
| **For non-patents**, you'll see: | |
| ``` | |
| β uploads/patents/some_document.pdf is NOT a valid patent | |
| Detected type: Microsoft Windows documentation | |
| Issues: Only 1 patent keywords found (expected at least 3), Missing required sections: abstract, claim, No numbered claims found | |
| ``` | |
| --- | |
| ## π§ Checking Current Uploads | |
| To identify which files in your current uploads are NOT patents: | |
| ```bash | |
| cd /home/mhamdan/SPARKNET | |
| # Check all uploaded files | |
| for file in uploads/patents/*.pdf; do | |
| echo "=== Checking: $file ===" | |
| pdftotext "$file" - | head -50 | grep -i "patent\|claim\|abstract" || echo "β οΈ NOT A PATENT" | |
| echo "" | |
| done | |
| ``` | |
| --- | |
| ## π Next Steps | |
| ### Immediate Actions: | |
| 1. **Test with Sample Patent**: | |
| - Navigate to SPARKNET frontend | |
| - Upload: `uploads/patents/SAMPLE_AI_DRUG_DISCOVERY_PATENT.txt` | |
| - Verify results show correct title, abstract, claims | |
| 2. **Clear Non-Patent Uploads** (optional): | |
| ```bash | |
| # Backup current uploads | |
| mkdir -p uploads/patents_backup | |
| cp uploads/patents/*.pdf uploads/patents_backup/ | |
| # Clear non-patents | |
| rm uploads/patents/*.pdf | |
| ``` | |
| 3. **Restart Backend** (to load new validation code): | |
| ```bash | |
| screen -S sparknet-backend -X quit | |
| screen -dmS sparknet-backend bash -c "cd /home/mhamdan/SPARKNET && source sparknet/bin/activate && python -m uvicorn api.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload" | |
| ``` | |
| ### Future Enhancements: | |
| 1. **Frontend Validation**: | |
| - Add client-side warning when uploading files | |
| - Show document type detection before analysis | |
| - Suggest correct file types | |
| 2. **Better Error Messages**: | |
| - Return validation errors to frontend | |
| - Display user-friendly message: "This doesn't appear to be a patent. Please upload a patent document." | |
| 3. **Document Type Detection**: | |
| - Add dropdown to select document type | |
| - Support different analysis modes for different document types | |

| ## π Technical Details | |
| ### Why Previous Uploads Failed | |
| All current uploaded PDFs in `uploads/patents/` are **NOT patents**: | |
| - Microsoft Windows principles document | |
| - Press releases | |
| - Policy documents | |
| - Other non-patent content | |
| When DocumentAnalysisAgent tried to extract patent structure: | |
| ```python | |
| # LLM tried to find these in non-patent documents: | |
| structure = { | |
| 'title': None, # Not found β defaults to "Patent Analysis" | |
| 'abstract': None, # Not found β defaults to "Abstract not available" | |
| 'claims': [], # Not found β empty array | |
| 'patent_id': None, # Not found β defaults to "UNKNOWN" | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| ### How Validation Works | |
| ```python | |
| # Step 1: Extract text from PDF | |
| patent_text = extract_text_from_pdf(file_path) | |
| # Step 2: Check for patent indicators | |
| has_keywords = count_keywords(['patent', 'claim', 'abstract', ...]) | |
| has_structure = check_for_sections(['abstract', 'claims', ...]) | |
| has_numbered_claims = regex_search(r'claim\s+\d+') | |
| # Step 3: Determine validity | |
| if has_keywords >= 3 and has_numbered_claims > 0: | |
| is_valid = True | |
| else: | |
| is_valid = False | |
| identify_actual_document_type(patent_text) | |
| ``` | |
