Description

In a technology-forward world, sometimes the best and easiest tools are still pen and paper. Organic chemists frequently draw out molecular work with the Skeletal formula, a structural notation used for centuries. Recent publications are also annotated with machine-readable chemical descriptions (InChI), but there are decades of scanned documents that can't be automatically searched for specific chemical depictions. 

Automated recognition of optical chemical structures, with the help of machine learning, could speed up research and development .

Our talk will walk through the various high level aspects of our 7th place Gold medal winning approach on Kaggle.

Specifically, we will present our model architectures, loss functions, ensemble strategy and post-processing methods.
