Google patents AI tool to pick chemicals for growing new materials
Google describes a system that uses machine learning to help scientists choose the right chemical helpers, called nucleating agents, for creating specific new materials. The software analyzes the target material and compares it against a list of possible additives to find the best match.
In the filing’s own words
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for selecting a nucleating agent for synthesis of a target material. According to one aspect, a method comprises: receiving data identifying a target material; generating an embedding of the target material in a latent space using an embedding machine learning model; and selecting one or more nucleating agents for the target material, from a set of candidate nucleating agents, based at least in part on the embedding of the target material in the latent space.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method performed by one or more computers, the method comprising: receiving data identifying a target material; generating an embedding of the target material in a latent space using an embedding machine learning model; and selecting one or more nucleating agents for the target material, from a set of candidate nucleating agents, based at least in part on the embedding of the target material in the latent space.
