Learning to Smell: Using Deep Learning to Predict the Olfactory Properties of Molecules

Predicting the relationship between a molecules structure and its odor remains a difficult, decades-old task. This problem, termed quantitative structure-odor relationship (QSOR) modeling, is an important challenge in chemistry, impacting human nutrition, manufacture of synthetic fragrance, the environment, and sensory neuroscience. We propose the use of graph neural networks for Read more

Olfactory Perception in Relation to the Physicochemical Odor Space

by Antonie Louise Bierling ,Ilona Croy, Thomas Hummel, Gianaurelio Cuniberti and Alexander Croy  A growing body of research aims at solving what is often referred to as the stimulus-percept problem in olfactory perception. Although computational efforts have made it possible to predict perceptual impressions from the physicochemical space of odors, studies with large psychophysical datasets from non-experts Read more
