Translating the InChI: adapting neural machine translation to predict IUPAC names from a chemical identifier

Abstract We present a sequence-to-sequence machine learning model for predicting the IUPAC name of a chemical from its standard International Chemical Identifier (InChI). The model uses two stacks of transformers in an encoder-decoder architecture, a setup similar to the neural networks used in stat...
