Algorithmic citation recommendation for patents that uses topic modeling and a tf-idf / cosine similarity pipeline over 250,000 patents and abstracts, plus an implicit matrix factorization recommender on citation pairs. Implementation uses python, pyspark, Google compute, big query and cloud storage to parallelize parsing of XML and training; LDA experiments (200 topics, optimal ~40) run in ~1 hour, ALS factorization converges in <10 minutes on an 8-core cluster. Top-20 cosine picks contain ~10% of actual citations and overlap ~20% with the recommender; system aids humans, not fully automatic.
