It's great to share that our latest paper is officially out!
In this work, we examine the untapped potential of large language models (LLMs) and explore how much information about compounds and materials might already be "hidden" within their parameters. More importantly, we discuss potential interesting strategies for unlocking and using this data effectively.
This is a pretty novel work, and we're excited about the new questions and possibilities it opens up for the integration of LLMs into the domain of materials science.
Huge thanks to the collaborators from Trinity College Dublin and The University of Utah:

Abstract
Vector embeddings derived from large language models (LLMs) show promise in capturing latent information from the literature. Interestingly, these can be integrated into material embeddings, potentially useful for data-driven predictions of materials properties. We investigate the extent to which LLM-derived vectors capture the desired information and their potential to provide insights into material properties without additional training. Our findings indicate that, although LLMs can be used to generate representations reflecting certain property information, extracting the embeddings requires identifying the optimal contextual clues and appropriate comparators. Despite this restriction, it appears that LLMs still have the potential to be useful in generating meaningful materials-science representations.
Conclusion:
All in all, we can then conclude that LLMs are likely not to be a valuable means of gaining an estimate of relative material property ranking immediately, at least when they are taken without any training or optimization step. However, a common sense choice of contextualization term and query key may be useful in certain contexts. This work serves to highlight the potential strengths and drawbacks of LLMs for constructing valuable materials representations for data-driven discovery.

The value of a business today is the sum of all the money it will make in the future.
my experience with the company,part 1.........
looking but no touching.
it all started many many many moons ago,the company looked and acted like a dog with flea. the only consistent outcomes were losses,more losses, and losses galore,lasted over a decade since 2004 spac.ooouuuchhh. one number that troubled me or any sensible investors,was the salaries and wages on the expense side of the book,which always hovered around 50% of the topline,and stayed constant with increased topline.oouuccchhhhhh. this dog can be summarized on 2017(calendar year?) and prior with one word: toxic or "looking but no touching".
for some reason things started to change post 2017,the hemorrhaging of expense side of the book seemed being checked by a newly formed management team and bingo,the dog with controllable flea is here to stay.wooooooowwwww. so ever slowly,the flea started going away and this dog finally saw its first worthwhile record profit in q4 2023 fiscal year. wooooooooowwwww.soon after,the company moved to pay down its debt from above $1.5 million down toward $1.25 million,and restructured its debt.woooooowwwwwwww.its cash level went from a historical average of $50k to close to $300k.wooooowwwww.
to summarize 2004 to 2017:
watching the paint dry in a raining season
toxic
"looking but no touching"
had you not done the above,money down the drain.oooouuucccccchhhhhhhh.
to be continued.
