New neural network architecture tackles complex chemical reaction inference

Researchers have developed a novel neural inference architecture to tackle the dual challenges of identifying chemical reaction pathways and estimating kinetic parameters in complex chemical reaction networks (CRNs). This approach uses shared 1D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and a Set Attention mechanism to process variable-length time-series data, learning low-dimensional summary statistics. These statistics then inform a model selection network for posterior model probabilities and conditional Invertible Neural Networks (cINNs) for parameter estimation. The method was successfully applied to a protodeboronation example, demonstrating its ability to resolve structural ambiguities and extract kinetic parameters from competing deactivation pathways.
