Language models dynamically learn chemical reaction representations for optimization

Researchers have developed a novel method for optimizing chemical reactions by dynamically learning representations from text using fine-tuned language models. This approach, integrated with Gaussian processes and Bayesian optimization, adapts representations to specific reaction systems, outperforming traditional methods like one-hot encoding and molecular descriptors. The technique was successfully applied to optimize palladium-catalyzed cyanations and asymmetric hydrogenations, achieving high yields and enantiomeric excess in prospective experiments. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates a novel application of language models in scientific discovery, potentially accelerating chemical synthesis and materials science.

    Dynamic language model representations for multi-objective reaction optimisation

    arXiv:2609.11790v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimising chemical reactions across multiple objectives, such as yield, selectivity, and safety, is central to chemical synthesis, and model-driven approaches depend critically on how reaction components are represented. Establishe…
