At the 2021 European Chemoreception Organization (ECRO) Conference, which was held from 14th to 17th September in Cascais, Lissabon, we presented our recent work “Olfactory Perception in Relation to the Physicochemical Odor Space” (Bierling et al., 2021) in a poster session. Some impressions from the great conference visit here.
Compared to the visual and auditory senses, which have long since successfully found their way into artificial intelligence applications, such as through intelligent image recognition and voice assistants, the sense of smell has been comparatively poorly understood. In order to change that, artificial intelligence plays a crucial role: on the Read more…
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…
The student newspaper “Psycho-Path” reports about Perceptronics in a general article about olfaction, olfactory disorders and why we need electronic noses. The full article can be read here on page 44.
The L2 pilot study – CROWN – will be divided into two parts: In a first large-scale study, 1,200 participants will be asked to rate a total of 80 odor molecules in different dimensions and to complete questionnaires about their personality and experience with odors. In a second step, 60 Read more…
The TU Dresden newspaper “Universitätsjournal” gives a detailed article about our project, its goals, and involved institutions and the international workshop. Read all details (in German) here on page 7.
