"Science News", April 29th, p271 "Neural Network Predicts Reactions".
The key quote for me was "When tested with 13 [..] not in the training set
[of 32] the network predicted [..] proportions within 20% of actual values
in 10 cases. That equals the performance by a small set of human chemists
and beats out by three an existing conventional computer expert system for
predicting reaction outcomes."
