"System for generating compound structure representation" was invented by Yoshihiro Osakabe (Tokyo) and Akinori Asahara (Tokyo).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A structure model includes a first encoder that converts a compound structure representation to a real number vector and a first decoder that estimates the compound structure representation from the real number vector resulting from the conversion by the first encoder. A structure-property relationship model includes a second encoder that converts, to a real number vector, an extended vector including, as components, ...
