Pioneering solution provides scientists faster implementable answers to accelerate scientific discoveries
CAS, a department of the American Chemical Society specializing in scientific knowledge management, announces the introduction of the next level of development of CAS SCIFINDER®, the leading platform for scientific search and findings. Through the integration of advanced AI, which is optimized for scientific applications, with the greatest of people curated by global scientific knowledge, CAS Scifinder enables researchers throughout the research and development industry to work faster and to open up new innovation options.
This represents the most important integration of AI into the CAS solution portfolio. “Scientific information is diverse and complex, which makes it difficult for conventional AI tools to interpret it correctly,” said Tim Wahlberg, product manager of CAS. “By using these technologies to the high-quality, structured data in the CAS Content Collection ™ and the involvement of our team of scientists to check the advanced AI models, we were able to develop a scientifically intelligent AI approach that provides precise and reliable answers to which scientists can rely on.”
SearchSense, a collection of new AI-controlled search functions in CAS Scifinder, was developed in order to make scientific information in all F & e-workflows more accessible and to help researchers get more usable answers. With a single search field, users can ask a wide range of inquiries by asking simple questions in natural language. With the help of AI-based summaries, users can quickly interpret the results and filter out the most important information in order to get a clear answer that you trust. 93 % of the beta testers believe that the new search functions in CAS Scifinder increase their efficiency. The platform also learns from the user activities to personalize the results and optimize future searches. In order to ensure the safety of all user queries, results and interactions in CAS Scifinder, the AI functions work in a closed system.
With the introduction of the first interactive real-time planning tool for syntheses, CAS is still a leader in innovations in the field of retrosynthesis. This is a paradigm shift for chemists who shorten the time from minutes from minutes to create a synthesis plan to a few seconds. The interactive retrosynthesis in CAS SCIFINDER makes it possible to avoid waiting times and to provide real evidence directly in synthetic cards for a quick comparison. This significantly increases efficiency and enables greater creativity in reaction planning and optimization. The AI improved by scientists is also used for a more precise interpretation of users’ reaction inquiries in order to offer unsurpassed search accuracy and precision within the largest collection of curated reaction information.
Since scientists and interest groups increasingly need a better overview of the situation in the area of intellectual property in all phases of research and development, CAS SCIFINDER have been expanded to include additional functions for IP research, visualization options and patent details. With the help of IP Connections, users can now easily determine the state of the art within their typical workflow. This AI-algorithm developed by CAS compensates relevant patent and non-patent publications from any free text input to enable more reliable prioritization and reduce the risk of waste of time and investment.
“The process of scientific discoveries is constantly developing, and we strive to promote our solutions with the latest technology to offer the best knowledge, most efficient work processes and an optimal user experience that meets our customers’ changing requirements,” said Manuel Guzman, President of CAS. “Since there are so many scientists on CAS Scifinder worldwide, these new functions have a significant impact on the speed of discoveries and ultimately contribute to bringing life -changing innovations to the market faster.
