Evaluation metrics are missing for inventor disambiguation

Greetings -

Does PatentsView have evaluation metrics on the various inventor evaluation sets that they're willing to make public? I noticed in the docs (https://s3.amazonaws.com/data.patentsview.org/documents/PatentsView_Disambiguation_Methods_Documentation.pdf) that only assignee and location-based disambiguation tasks had evaluation metrics reported.

Chris

Hi Emily -

Thanks for the prompt response. I don't think any of those evaluation sets are for inventors, though. In other words, I'm looking for metrics that describe the ability of the disambiguation algorithm to disambiguate inventors on patents, not assignees or locations.
