DENDRAL

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but currently has many typos and misspellings.

DENDRAL was an early expert system, developed initially in the 1960s, that used domain specific knowledge about chemical structure in order to work alongside chemists to create new scientifc results. In some ways this can be seen as a precursor to current scientific discovery systems such as AlphaFold.
