Neural network based chemical structure indexing.
Searches on chemical databases are presently dominated by the text-based content of a paper which can be indexed into a keyword searchable form. Such traditional searches can prove to be very time-consuming and discouraging to the less frequent scientist. We report a simple chemical indexing based on the molecular structure alone. The method used is based on a one-to-one correspondence between the chemical structure presented as an image to a neural network and the corresponding binary output. The method is direct and less cumbersome (compared with traditional methods) and proves to be robust, elegant, and very versatile.
