Nestlé R&D has announced a partnership with IBM Research to develop tools that use artificial intelligence and deep tech to create new innovations. As part of this collaboration, the companies have developed a generative AI tool that can identify novel high-barrier packaging materials.
To create the tool, AI-based processing techniques were used to construct a knowledge base of known materials from public and proprietary documents. A fit-for-purpose chemical language model was fine-tuned based on this knowledge base, enabling it to learn the representation of the materials’ molecular structures.
