Abstract

Described herein are systems and methods for indexing document data in order to facilitate chemical structure searching. The document data may include chemical structure data corresponding to a chemical structure. Bit-screening data and connection data in the chemical structure data may be identified. The bit-screening data may correspond to constituent elements of the chemical structure, and the connection data may correspond to connections between the one or more constituent elements. A string tag may be generated based on a portion of the identified bit-screening data. The string tag may include an alphanumeric value for describing the chemical structure that corresponds to the chemical structure data. The document data may be indexed based on the string tag. The chemical structure data corresponding to a chemical structure in the document may be searchable based on correlating at least a portion of text data of a query with the indexed document data.

Claims (63)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a computing device, document data corresponding to a document, wherein the document data comprises chemical structure data corresponding to a chemical structure, and the chemical structure data comprises a graphical representation of the chemical structure;

determining, by the computing device, bit-screening data and connection data based on the chemical structure data, wherein:

the bit-screening data corresponds to one or more constituent elements of the chemical structure, and

the connection data corresponds to one or more connections between the one or more constituent elements of the chemical structure;

determining, by the computing device, at least one string tag based on at least a portion of the bit-screening data, wherein the at least one string tag comprises an alphanumeric value for describing the chemical structure corresponding to the chemical structure data;

determining, by the computing device, an association of the at least one string tag with the document data;

outputting, by the computing device, the at least one string tag; and

indexing, by the computing device, the document data based on the at least one outputted string tag, wherein the chemical structure data corresponding to a chemical structure in the document is searchable based on correlating at least a portion of text data of a query with the indexed document data.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

augmenting the document data to comprise the at least one outputted string tag.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the at least one string tag comprises:

performing an atom-by-atom search or a structure-based search on the bit-screening data to identify the one or more constituent elements corresponding to the bit-screening data; and

populating the at least one string tag with one or more strings identifying, classifying, or describing the one or more constituent elements.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the at least one string tag comprises:

converting the bit-screening data into one or more strings identifying, classifying, or describing the one or more constituent elements corresponding to the bit-screening data.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one outputted string tag comprises natural language text.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the document data comprises metadata for identifying the document.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the at least one string tag comprises:

determining one or more encoded strings based on a portion of the connection data; and

augmenting the document data to comprise the one or more encoded strings.

8. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive document data corresponding to a document, wherein the document data comprises chemical structure data corresponding to a chemical structure, and the chemical structure data comprises a graphical representation of the chemical structure;

determine bit-screening data and connection data based on the chemical structure data, wherein:

the bit-screening data corresponds to one or more constituent elements of the chemical structure, and

the connection data corresponds to one or more connections between the one or more constituent elements of the chemical structure;

determine at least one string tag based on at least a portion of the bit-screening data,

wherein the at least one string tag comprises an alphanumeric value for describing the chemical structure corresponding to the chemical structure data;

determine an association of the at least one string tag with the document data;

output the at least one string tag; and

index the document data based on the at least one outputted string tag, wherein the chemical structure data corresponding to a chemical structure in the document is searchable based on correlating at least a portion of text data of a query with the indexed document data.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:

augment the document data to comprise the at least one outputted string tag.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine the at least one string tag at least by:

performing an atom-by-atom search or a structure-based search on the bit-screening data to identify the one or more constituent elements corresponding to the bit-screening data; and

populating the at least one string tag with one or more strings identifying, classifying, or describing the one or more constituent elements.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine the at least one string tag at least by:

converting the bit-screening data into one or more strings identifying, classifying, or describing the one or more constituent elements corresponding to the bit-screening data.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one outputted string tag comprises natural language text.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the document data comprises metadata for identifying the document.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine the at least one string tag at least by:

determining one or more encoded strings based on a portion of the connection data; and

augmenting the document data based on the one or more encoded strings.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to:

receive document data corresponding to a document, wherein the document data comprises chemical structure data corresponding to a chemical structure, and the chemical structure data comprises a graphical representation of the chemical structure;

determine bit-screening data and connection data based on the chemical structure data, wherein:

the bit-screening data corresponds to one or more constituent elements of the chemical structure, and

the connection data corresponds to one or more connections between the one or more constituent elements of the chemical structure;

determine at least one string tag based on at least a portion of the bit-screening data, wherein the at least one string tag comprises an alphanumeric value for describing the chemical structure corresponding to the chemical structure data;

determine an association of the at least one string tag with the document data;

cause output of the at least one string tag for indexing the document; and

index the document data based on the at least one outputted string tag, wherein the chemical structure data corresponding to a chemical structure in the document is searchable based on correlating at least a portion of text data of a query with the indexed document data.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the computing device to:

augment the document data to comprise the at least one outputted string tag.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the computing device to determine the at least one string tag at least by:

performing an atom-by-atom search or a structure-based search on the bit-screening data to identify the one or more constituent elements corresponding to the bit-screening data; and

populating the at least one string tag with one or more strings identifying, classifying, or describing the one or more constituent elements.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the computing device to determine the at least one string tag at least by:
