The crucial field of Optical Chemical Structure Recognition (OCSR) aims to transform chemical structure photographs into machine-readable formats so that chemical databases may be efficiently stored and queried. Although a number of OCSR technologies have been created, little is known about how well they work in different picture deterioration scenarios. In this work, a new dataset of chemically structured images that have been systematically harmed graphically by compression, noise, distortion, and black overlays is presented. On these subsets, publicly accessible OCSR tools were thoroughly tested to determine how resilient they were to unfavorable circumstances. The outcomes show notable performance variation, underscoring each tool's advantages and disadvantages. Interestingly, MolScribe performed best under heavy compression (55.8% at 99%) and had the highest identification rate on undamaged photos (94.6%). MolVec performed exceptionally well against noise and black overlay (86.8% at 40%), although it declined under extreme distortion (<70%). With recognition rates below 30%, Decimer demonstrated strong sensitivity to noise and black overlay, but Imago had the lowest baseline accuracy (73.6%). The creative assessment of this study offers important new information about how well the OCSR tool performs when images deteriorate, as well as useful standards for tool development in the future.

Our open-source Python package BoFire combines Bayesian Optimization (BO) with other design of experiments (DoE) strategies focusing on developing and optimizing new chemistry. Previous BO implementations, for example as they exist in the literature or software, require substantial adaptation for effective real-world deployment in chemical industry. BoFire provides a rich feature-set with extensive configurability and realizes our vision of fast-tracking research contributions into industrial use via maintainable open-source software. Owing to quality-of-life features like JSON-serializability of problem formulations, BoFire enables seamless integration of BO into RESTful APIs, a common architecture component for both self-driving laboratories and human-in-the-loop setups. This paper discusses the differences between BoFire and other BO implementations and outlines ways that BO research needs to be adapted for real-world use in a chemistry setting.

A journalist who covers wildfires responds to Premee Mohamed's "All That Burns Unseen." In "All That Burns Unseen," set in a dystopian but not-too-distant future, we finally get the drone sidekick we didn't know we needed. Premee Mohamed's heroine, Vaughn Collins, is a government worker gone rogue as a wildfire burns. Along the way, she rescues a dazed, glitchy fire extinguisher drone. When a funnel of flames heads for Vaughn's truck, threatening everything, her new friend dives into the blaze and sprays.

The article contains an overview of AI and machine learning applied in Chemistry along with libraries like RDKit. Image Credits Introduction Machine learning models are poised to make a transformative impact on chemical sciences by dramatically accelerating computational algorithms and amplifying insights available from computational chemistry methods. However, achieving this requires a confluence and coaction of expertise in computer science and physical sciences. One of the chief goals of chem

With the global production of 150 million tons in 2016, ethylene is one of the most significant building blocks in today's chemical industry. Most ethylene is now produced in cracking furnaces by thermal cracking of fossil feedstocks with steam. This process consumes around 8% of the main energy used in the petrochemical industry, making it the single most energy-intensive process in the chemical industry. This paper studies a tubular thermal cracking reactor fed by propane and the molecular mechanism of the reaction within the reactor. After developing the reaction model, the existing issues, such as the reaction, flow, momentum, and energy, were resolved by applying heat to the outer tube wall.

By Michael Sartori and Matthew Avery (March 2, 2022, 6:27 PM EST) -- Artificial intelligence has seeped into so many areas, and the chemical industry is no exception. The increasing number of patents being sought for AI-based chemical inventions reflects the innovations in the field. This article discusses the increase in the patenting of AI-based inventions related to the chemical industry and provides insights for the industry into how to navigate this new course. Patenting of AI-Based Chemical Inventions According to Andrew Moore at NC State University's College of Natural Resources, the chemical industry has used AI "to increase operational efficiency, reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction."[1]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a broad field of computer science that focuses on creating intelligent machines that can accomplish activities that would normally need human intelligence. Machines may learn from their experiences, adapt to new inputs, and execute human-like jobs thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). Most AI examples you hear about today rely largely on deep learning and natural language processing, from chess-playing computers to self-driving cars. Computers can be trained to perform certain jobs by processing massive volumes of data and recognizing patterns in the data using these methods. Artificial Intelligence refers to the intelligence displayed by machines. In today's world, Artificial Intelligence has become highly popular. It is the simulation of human intelligence in computers that have been programmed to learn and mimic human actions.

The chemical industry is -without question- one of the most important industries in the world. Not only do 90% of our everyday products contain chemicals, but the industry also employs approximately 10 million people. Naturally, they were one of the first to embrace digital technologies such as process control systems or sensors which have a long tradition in production. According to Frithjof Netzer, Senior Vice-President and Project Lead 4.0 of BASF: "A lot of energy and momentum in the field of digital can be observed, Chemicals are catching up. It is not the question if, but rather what and how it will be done." A continuous digital transformation plays a crucial role in several key aspects of the industry.

Machine learning and AI can improve the functionalities of the chemical industry through the identification of chemical molecules -reactiveness and toxicity level during process engineering. And it can also be used to check the availability of raw materials, feasibility of compound, measuring blending temperature of certain chemical, and environmental concerns during production, transportation, and storage. And in the future, it is expected to increase the speed of the production process through ML technologies at its core. The industries interdependent on the chemical industry like agriculture, construction, automotive, cosmetics, energy, consumer products, transportation, etc., are implementing technology at their core; and the development of these industries will increase the growth of the chemical industry. Hence, the RoI on machine learning goes beyond the product revenue and chemical process.
