Chapter 236: Popularization and Application of Company AI

During this time, Wu Zhou was constantly testing the range of use of Xiaoyu and testing it.

Although it is said that at this stage, there is no way for Xiaoyu to be directly put into the market, because there is a high probability that it will bring completely unknowable changes.

However, it is obviously very beneficial for the company to match the current stage, or even slightly exceed the current level of development, and perfectly fit the company's development.

Wu Zhou used Xiaohe to produce a new company management ERP, operation assistant assistant, scientific research assistant and so on.

After the step-by-step launch into the company's operation, it only took a few days to get feedback and no bad reviews.

It's just too efficient.

For example, before operation, you may need to make forms and PPTs, and you may also need a variety of skills.

But now, as long as the text is described, or even pictures, to express what you need, the company's current AI system can be automatically produced.

And with the application of many times, each user terminal will automatically record the use habits, as well as needs, and even directly connect to the system.

For example, Liu Bin, Liu Fei, and Han Xinyan said that they had to do daily sales reports, inventory daily reports, product flow analysis, and industry traffic change trend charts every day.

Abnormal traffic, competitor dynamics, activity effect analysis, new product discovery, etc., a variety of tables.

Now, it's almost like turning on the computer, logging in to the system, waiting for two or three minutes, and after exporting the data from the database in the background of the platform, it will automatically produce targeted tables and even give a preliminary analysis report.

Dramatically reduces the work of the operations department.

To make a simple comparison, Han Xinyan used to make these tables every day, and it was estimated that it would take an hour, mainly in various backgrounds, it took time to download, and there was a lot of data. Even though they've generated an automated form, they still have to check and screen.

Now it only takes 3 minutes for all of these tables to be generated.

The contrast between an hour and three minutes.

In the past, the operation department felt that there was not enough manpower because there were too many chores. Suddenly, I felt that there was some abundance of manpower

As for Liu Bin, he is the head of the operation department, and every day the computer is open N browsers, each background, and can be viewed at any time.

And now it's all integrated into this AI system page of the company.

It is enough to just open this interface.

A single page brings together detailed data from all online platforms.

And after using it for a few days, there are even his analysis habits in it, and even based on his past operational decisions and operational effects, preliminary operational suggestions will be produced.

With the same amount of work, Liu Bin used to take a day, and it was a job that he wanted to break his head, but now he can't use an hour, so he can complete it directly, and even seems to be better done.

"I feel like I'm going to lose my job." Someone can't help but think.

"If you don't want to be unemployed, you need to be emotional and use your imagination. In the future, imagination is ability. ”

With rational logic, AI is much stronger than ordinary people.

On the other side, Aiying Biotech's research center.

Cui Min is a young senior chemist of Aiying Biotechnology, before coming to Aiying Biotechnology, she was engaged in scientific research in the university, but it is unfortunate that her leaders do not trust her very much.

And just at that time, the headhunters of Aiying Group found her and offered her a very favorable salary and package.

It is definitely impossible not to fancy the salary, after all, she is also a human being, and she can't be pure-hearted, and she still has a family, she still needs to live, and she needs money in all aspects.

Of course, what she values most is scientific research, and the promise given by Aiying Group is that it will give her enough budget for scientific research and complete freedom to play, which once made her feel impossible.

Isn't it a liar, but in the end, it was determined that Aiying Group was the famous Huaxia Shoushan on the Internet, and visited it physically, and after the contract at the company's headquarters was in black and white, Cui Min still remembered his unbelievable eyes at that time.

Because even if he has not looked for a job, he knows that this contract is too lenient, and it can almost be said that it is almost not binding on the employed.

"Is this kind of contract for Aiying Biotech to recruit people?"

"Of course not, Aiying company treats different talents, the application of contract terms is completely different, you are a group of A-level talents, so the contract terms given to you are of course the best in the company at present."

"Me? A grade? The best? Are you sure you know what my findings are? I want to research a new drug for rare diseases, is it not easy to generate revenue in this area? Cui Min couldn't believe it.

"Of course."

With a skeptical attitude, Cui Min still signed, the salary was more than 20 times higher than that of the school, and the scientific research project funds were increased by 100 times.

Working for a year is almost equivalent to working in school for a lifetime.

In the subsequent work, although he only worked for less than 3 months, Cui Min was once again glad that he had made the decision at that time, and fortunately did not choose to go abroad.

The promise given to her by Aiying Group at the beginning was fully fulfilled, or even said that it was overfulfilled.

I didn't expect that it was just a cross-border enterprise in Huaxia, and it could provide such a favorable scientific research environment.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are too many, too many people around to learn and communicate with, and almost all of them are people who love scientific research.

This kind of environment where everyone is of the same kind and can help her improve her scientific research level really makes her feel that she is not dreaming.

During this time, she was looking for a molecule that could inhibit an enzyme associated with a genetic disease, and she tested hundreds of candidates, with 3 candidates, but they still did not meet her expectations, and she needs to continue testing.

On this day, the head of the company's information department called her into the office and introduced her to Li Yang, a data scientist at Aiying Group, who had been working in the data center department of Aiying Biotech.

After Choi Min entered the door.

"Hello, my name is Li Yang, I am a data scientist on the company's side, and the company has recently developed a new generative model that can help you in your scientific research projects." Li Yang was straight to the point, without any politeness.

Cui Min prefers this way of communication because it saves time.

"Hello, I'm Cui Min, the company's senior chemist, how can I help?"

Cui Min was skeptical of what Li Yang said. Of course she knew about the generative model, but the reliability and accuracy were questionable. And from the bottom of her heart, she doesn't think that a generative model can replace human expertise and intuition.

However, in line with the good experience of scientific research in Aiying Biotech during this time, she did not refuse.

Li Yang then followed Cui Min to her lab, where Li Yang connected his laptop to her workstation.

He opens an application that shows a seemingly simple interface with several options and parameters.

"Before we begin, we need to determine the target dependents." Li Yang said. "For example, what properties do you want to find molecules, of course, this is more complicated, is there any data on the binding affinity of your candidate substance?"

"Yes." Cui Min said, glancing at her assistant not far away, her assistant quickly operated on the computer, and after a few moments, a set of data was presented.

"Okay, I'm going to upload them to this model." Li Yang said, took out his mobile phone, and directly took a picture of the relevant data, one page, two pages, three pages. At the same time as the shooting, the relevant data information was presented on the computer screen one after another.

"You can check it and see if there are any errors or omissions in the data, and if not, I'll let him run it." Li Yang said.

Cui Min nodded, after a little inspection.

"No problem."

After Li Yang tapped, the interface was initially running and went to the next page.

"Okay, now we can set the range of IC50 values that we want to generate." Li Yang said. He moved two sliders around the screen until they showed 0-10 nM.

Cui Min was slightly surprised by Li Yang's operation, but he didn't say anything.

"That's a small number?" Assistant Cui Min was directly surprised that the smaller the value of IC50, the stronger the specificity of the antibody and the better the effect. "We don't have a candidate with such a low IC50 value."

"We'll find out later." Li Yang said with a smile, but he was very confident. "It can explore areas of chemical space that you haven't explored."

He clicked on another option that allowed him to specify some additional constraints for the spawning molecule.

"We also want to make sure that our molecules are drug-like compounds." After all, he is a data engineer recruited by Aiying Group with a high salary, and he has been working here for so long, and he has understood a lot of some ordinary professional knowledge. So often before Cui Min could say anything, Li Yang had already opened the corresponding page.

"This means that they should have a reasonable molecular weight, logP value, solubility, and so on. We can use some common filters, such as Lipinski's rule of five or QED scores, to screen out undesirable compounds. ”

He ticked some boxes on the screen and adjusted some thresholds accordingly.

"Anything else?" He asked Cui Min.

"Well, you need to avoid molecules that are too similar to the ones I already have." Cui Min said. "No need to waste time and resources testing duplicate or near-duplicate compounds."

Li Yang nodded, and then entered 0.8 at the cut-off value of the Tanimoto similarity coefficient, which is a commonly used metric for comparing molecular structures.

"And here we go?" Li Yang turned his head and asked again.

Cui Min hummed softly.

Then click on a button labeled "Generate". The model starts working, showing a progress bar and some statistics on the screen. Alice watched nervously, wondering if anything useful would come up.

After about 3 minutes, the model had completed the generation of 1000 molecules that met all conditions. It sorts them according to their predicted IC50 values, from lowest to highest, and displays them in a tabular format as a 3D structure. It also highlights their key characteristics like functional groups, rings, or heteroatoms.

At this moment, Cui Min no longer had the same calmness as before, and he looked incredulous.

She walked over to the computer and quickly scrolled through the interface, carefully looking at each molecule. And the more I looked, the more surprised I was that these molecules were indeed diverse and innovative, showing different backbones, substituents, and connections than her candidates. Some of them look familiar, similar to known drugs or natural products; Others were completely unfamiliar, showing some structures she had never seen before. She picked a molecule that has a complex ring-like structure with some oxygen and nitrogen atoms on it.

Cui Min asked Li Yang without looking back, "Can this molecule be synthesized, and is there a synthesis path?" ”

"Of course." Li Yang nodded. "Our model can generate not only molecular structures, but also synthetic routes. All you need to do is click on this button and you will be able to see the detailed steps and reaction conditions. ”

As he spoke, Li Yang moved the mouse, paused in a position and showed it to Cui Min, and then clicked lightly, and the screen instantly jumped to a new window, showing the synthesis route of the molecule. It consists of four steps, each of which gives the required reagent, solvent, temperature, and time.

"I never thought I would be able to design and synthesize new drugs in this way." The shock on Cui Min's face was still there, but he couldn't suppress a smile.

This is too useful for her, too easy to use.

"Teacher Cui, am I going to lose my job?" Assistant Cui Min on the side had a bitter face, because the work just now was the work he did on weekdays, but it was certain that his workload for several months was not as good as the results of this system in a few minutes.

At this moment, he felt that his previous work had completely lost its meaning.

"Not for the time being, you can do something else," Cui Min said without looking back, and at the moment she was constantly clicking on the synthesis path of one compound after another.

There was surprise in his eyes.
