However, the application of AI to emulate human cognition in natural product research and its subsequent impact has so far been limited. One reason for this limited impact is that available natural product data is multimodal, unbalanced, unstandardized, and scattered across many data repositories. This makes natural product data challenging to use with existing deep learning architectures that consume fairly standardized, often non-relational, data. It also prevents models from learning overarching patterns in natural product science. In this Viewpoint, we address this challenge and support ongoing initiatives aimed at democratizing natural product data by collating our collective knowledge into a knowledge graph. By doing so, we believe there will be an opportunity to use such a knowledge graph to develop AI models that can truly mimic natural product scientists' decision-making.</p>","PeriodicalId":94,"journal":{"name":"Natural Product Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":10.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11327853/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141986907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In practice, however, this approach frequently results in complete failures or dramatically reduced product yields.
