Abstract

Natural Language Processing (NLP) offers promising potential for advancing chemistry research by exploring understudied topics, accelerating the research process, and reducing the costs of lab experimentation (1). For example, the U.S. military seeks to utilize NLP to replace toxic and limited resources, like Teflon, with more accessible alternatives. Our objective is to assess the accuracy of two models, Skip-Gram and BERT, after training them on chemistry data. Our work with Skip-Gram aims to replicate and enhance prior research results, while our work with BERT aims to highlight its Sub-Word method for analysis.
