Thomas Doerner highlights persistent chemical and technical challenges in cheminformatics—from unFAIR data to complex compound representation and non-classic environments—and urges the community to prioritize and collaboratively address them.
We are proposing comprehensive benchmarks for Natural Language data mining and Scientific Chat applications to facilitate the rigorous evaluation of large language model (LLM) performance across key stages of the data-to-insight pipeline in pharmaceutical R&D, ultimately supporting more effective deployment of AI in drug discovery.
Data inter-operability is a key enabler to accelerate life science workflows. Yet, many concrete hurdles exist. For example, organizations use different definitions for similar core concepts, requiring significant amounts of mappings across data sets even within a given company. The first objective of the Pharma General Ontology (PGO) project is to define a set of […]
Proprietary lab instrument data formats hinder FAIR data and interoperability. We propose an open-source, community-driven effort to standardize data conversion, enabling scalable reuse, reducing redundancy, and maximizing scientific ROI.
