Abstract: A novel retrosynthetic prediction method using fragment-based tokenization combined with transformer architecture is disclosed. Chemical reactions are represented using changes in a set of fragments of a molecule using an atom environment fragmentation scheme. An atom environment (AE) is an idealized and chemically meaningful component and generates a high-resolution molecular representation. Describing a molecule with a series of AEs establishes a clear relationship between translated product-reactant pairs due to the conservation of atoms in the reaction. A top accuracy of 67.1% within a biologically similar range on the USPTO test dataset is achieved, which outperforms other state-of-the-art translation methods. The impact of various encoding scenarios on the prediction of reactant candidates was investigated. A novel template-free model for retrosynthetic prediction provides fast and reliable retrosynthetic pathway planning for materials with distinct fragmentation patterns.

Abstract: A method for transmitting web-conference content over a network connection is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method conducts a web conference over a network connection. The method monitors characteristics of the network connection in order to determine bandwidth of the network connection during the web conference. The method implements, on the network connection, a “raw” mode wherein audio data of the web conference is transmitted over the network connection in an original format. Upon detecting a low bandwidth condition on the network connection, the method toggles from the “raw” mode to a “saving” mode where audio data of the web conference is converted to text at a first end of the network connection, transmitted over the network connection as text, and converted from text back to audio data at a second end of the network connection. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: A transmission mode of an interrogation from an RFID reader is the basis for determining a responsive communication. Transmission modes matching a pre-defined pattern are the basis for returning expected information, such as an identification code.
