It is also getting harder, not easier, to get.
I am working right now on a retro synthesis project. Our external data provider is raising prices while removing functionality, and no one bats an eye. At the same time our own data is considered a business secret and therefore impossible to share.
As someone who does NLP research where the code, data and papers are typically free, this drives me insane.
- cinntaile 5y agoAre you using NLP to guide what molecules are probably worthwhile to try and synthesize?
- probably_wrong 5y agoA bit. But my main project was to use NLP to identify failed reactions in old lab notebooks to use as negative training data.
