Robotic systems for chemical synthesis are growing in popularity but can be difficult to run and maintain because of the lack of a standard operating system or capacity for direct access to the literature through natural language processing. Here we show an extendable chemical execution architecture that can be populated by automatically reading the literature, leading to a universal autonomous workflow. The robotic synthesis code can be corrected in natural language without any programming knowledge and, because of the standard, is hardware independent. This chemical code can then be combined with a graph describing the hardware modules and compiled into platform-specific, low-level robotic instructions for execution. We showcase automated syntheses of 12 compounds from the literature, including the analgesic lidocaine, the Dess-Martin periodinane oxidation reagent, and the fluorinating agent AlkylFluor.

The objective of this paper is to build a Web Application based on Virtual voice and chat Assistant. The current study focuses on development of voice and text/chat bot specifically. It is specially being built for people who feel depressed and insists them to talk open mindedly which in turn pacifies them. As the name of the application suggests, App: An application to pacify people and make them as happy as a cat would be with his or her mother (the reason why a cat purrs). We will be using Dialog flow for the application design and Machine Learning as a part of Artificial Intelligence for Natural Language Processing (NLP), an easiest way to use Machine Learning libraries. At the back-end we will be using a database to store the communication history between the user and the bot. This application will only work on devices with Web operating system version-5.0 and above.


The application of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in the Balinese sentence dictionary is an application that can provide information about the meaning of Indonesian to Balinese translation using the words contained in the Indonesian pocket dictionary, the results or meanings obtained are based on the application of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in accordance with the stipulated provisions. This application does not translate per word but per sentence. The application of NLP in the Balinese sentence dictionary serves to provide convenience for tourists or users who are used to communicate with the Balinese people and understand the Balinese language itself. In addition, it can provide time efficiency to users because this application is built offline on the Android mobile operating system, so that it can be accessed anywhere and anytime. In its implementation, the waterfall method is used and the output of this application is Indonesian sentences to Balinese sentences. And in the development of this application used tools with UML (Unified Modelling Processing) which consists of use case diagrams, activity diagrams, sequential diagrams, statechart diagrams and class diagrams. Keywords: Dictionary, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Balinese

Natural Language Processing for under-resourced languages is now a mainstream research area. However, there are limited studies on Natural Language Processing applications for many indigenous East African languages. As a contribution to covering the current gap of knowledge, this paper focuses on evaluating the application of well-established machine translation methods for one heavily under-resourced indigenous East African language called Lumasaaba. Specifically, we review the most common machine translation methods in the context of Lumasaaba including both rule-based and data-driven methods. Then we apply a state of the art data-driven machine translation method to learn models for automating translation between Lumasaaba and English using a very limited data set of parallel sentences. Automatic evaluation results show that a transformer-based Neural Machine Translation model architecture leads to consistently better BLEU scores than the recurrent neural network-based models. Moreover, the automatically generated translations can be comprehended to a reasonable extent and are usually associated with the source language input.

In 2018, we overheard many CEEA-AGEC members stating that they have "found their people"; this led us to wonder what makes this evolving community unique. Using cultural historical activity theory to view the proceedings of CEEA-ACEG 2004-2018 in comparison with the geographically and intellectually adjacent ASEE, we used both machine-driven (Natural Language Processing, NLP) and human-driven (literature review of the proceedings) methods. Here, we hoped to build on surveys—most recently by Nelson and Brennan (2018)—to understand, beyond what members say about themselves, what makes the CEEA-AGEC community distinct, where it has come from, and where it is going. Engaging in the two methods of data collection quickly diverted our focus from an analysis of the data themselves to the characteristics of the data in terms of cultural historical activity theory. Our preliminary findings point to some unique characteristics of machine- and human-driven results, with the former, as might be expected, focusing on the micro-level (words and language patterns) and the latter on the macro-level (ideas and concepts). NLP generated data within the realms of "community" and "division of labour" while the review of proceedings centred on "subject" and "object"; both found "instruments," although NLP with greater granularity. With this new understanding of the relative strengths of each method, we have a revised framework for addressing our original question.

The main advantage of modern natural language processing methods is a possibility to turn an amorphous human-readable task into a strict mathematic form. That allows to extract chemical data and insights from articles and to find new semantic relations. We propose a universal engine for processing chemical and biological texts. We successfully tested it on various use-cases and applied to a case of searching a therapeutic agent for a COVID-19 disease by analyzing PubMed archive.
