Abstract

The paper introduces DECIMER.ai, an open-source platform for automated extraction and interpretation of chemical structures from scientific literature. It combines three key components: DECIMER Segmentation (for detecting and segmenting chemical structures), DECIMER Image Classifier (for identifying images containing chemical structures), and DECIMER Image Transformer (for converting depictions into machine-readable SMILES format). The platform's OCSR (Optical Chemical Structure Recognition) engine shows superior performance on benchmark datasets. All source code, trained models, and datasets are publicly available under permissive licenses.
