摘要 |
Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for searching chemical compounds referenced in chemical literature. References to chemical compounds in the documents may be transformed to corresponding references using a standard notation for representing chemical compounds. Criteria specifying desired molecular characteristics may be received. A regular expression may be generated based on the received criteria. The chemical documents may be searched using the regular expression. Based on the search, a chemical document may be determined that references a chemical compound satisfying the received criteria. Further, the regular expression may be generated based on the received criteria and a received mutation rule. Based on the generated regular expression and the chemical documents, one or more chemical compounds may be discovered that satisfy both the received criteria and the received mutation rule, but that is are not referenced in the chemical documents.
