For both the models (ML and Chemprop), 20 independent genetic runs were conducted and from each run the most stable predicted molecules from every generation were obtained. The median stability of these most stable predicted generated molecules was plotted along with the zeroth and fourth quartile to get an idea of the models' which shows little variation meaning that irrespective of starting alkanes, all runs quickly arrive at similar structures (Fig. ). Within 30 generations, both models arrived at the most stable alkane. Also, from the molecules shown in Fig. , the general trend of less branched alkanes being more stable has implicitly been rediscovered here as well by both models.
