Retro-Expert framework enhances chemical synthesis with interpretable AI

Researchers have developed Retro-Expert, a new framework for retrosynthesis prediction that combines large language models (LLMs) with specialized models through reinforcement learning. This approach aims to overcome the limitations of static pattern-matching methods by enabling collaborative reasoning and providing interpretable, chemically grounded explanations. Experiments indicate that Retro-Expert outperforms existing methods and enhances trust among chemists by offering a clear reasoning path for its predictions. AI

IMPACT Enhances interpretability and trust in AI for chemical synthesis, potentially accelerating drug discovery and materials science.

    Retro-Expert: Collaborative Reasoning for Interpretable Retrosynthesis

    arXiv:2508.10967v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrosynthesis prediction aims to infer the reactant molecules based on a given product molecule, which is a fundamental task in chemical synthesis. However, existing methods rely on a static pattern-matching paradigm, whi…
