CHEMOINFORMATICS

Transformers for future medicinal chemists

Nature Machine Intelligence volume 3, pages 102–103 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

Chemical reactions can be grouped into classes, but determining what class a specific reaction belongs to is not trivial on a large-scale. A new study demonstrates data-driven automatic classification of chemical reactions with methods borrowed from natural language processing.
