Recognizant of this, the Cronin group introduced ChemIDE, 17 a tool that transforms common procedures written in natural language to a domain-specific chemical descriptive language (χDL). This approach generalized the vast majority of chemistry related tasks, with the goal of facilitating standardization and transfer of chemical procedures for SDLs. This translation used a Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithm, called SynthReader, to identify text to their action entities and extract action details using pattern recognition. To support standardization, χDL is hardware-agnostic, and depends on SDLs to have a layer that expands the high-level χDL actions to basic hardware instructions or map these actions to programming functions. For example, χDL has enabled the successful transfer of synthetic protocols between different hardware platforms in different countries, and applied to the discovery of organic solid-state laser gain materials. IBM's RXN for Chemistry (RXN) is a cloud-based SDL platform, supporting remote execution of a designed procedure on the automation lab. The platform also supports text-to-RXN procedure, a translation tool using the transformer model that promotes user-friendly experimental design and reaction planning. Despite the executable commands varying from ChemIDE/χDL in task names and arguments, both platforms support transcription of natural language to their executable languages, demonstrating that experimental design through natural language is more intuitive and enabling better transferability between SDLs.
