What is Teaching Computers to Speak Chemistry about?
C hemistry is a language. Some organic chemistry professors drop that analogy on their students, hoping to get them to see how learning symbols, rules, and suffixes can lead to a broader understanding of the field. Now chemists are demonstrating that the analogy extends beyond the classroom. By treating molecules and reactions like words and sentences, they have found ways to get the potent machine-learning tools that let Alexa or Siri understand your questions to instead learn chemistry. The scientists hope that these algorithms can then predict molecules that can hit a specific drug target or propose new synthetic routes to compounds. The field shows a lot of potential in its infancy, but the future is hazy because scientists still aren't sure they know the best ways to talk to computers.As early as the 1930s, when the first computers were developed, chemists realized they needed ways to communicate chemical information to a machine. Their solution was a line notation: a series of letters, numbers, or other characters that describe or identify a chemical compound.
