AI predicts chemicals’ smells from their structures

• A neural network can predict the smell of chemicals by analyzing their molecular structures, often matching human descriptions.

• The AI system was designed to explore correlations between chemical structures and odors, identifying around 250 such connections, which are used to make a Principal Odour Map (POM).

• Testing the POM with human volunteers showed the AI's predictions were often closer to the average human response than any individual guess.

• Critics note that while the POM can be useful in industries like food and cleaning products, it doesn't provide insights into the biology behind the human sense of smell.
