Performance evaluation of a fast chemical structure matching method using distributed neural relaxation

This paper presents an initial investigation of the performance of relaxation by elimination (RBE) using neural networks for matching three dimensional representations of chemical structures (small molecules). The approach differs from traditional schemes in that it uses a binary representation for information, allowing the use of correlation matrix memories (CMMs) for data processing. Furthermore, the use of CMMs allows an inherently parallel system, allowing high-performance processing.
