Could you build this?
No Extracting insights from unpublished dark scientific data requires deep materials science domain knowledge, custom scientific document/data parsers, and specialized graph/geometric neural networks for chemistry and crystallography.
What it would actually take: Building a real platform requires specialized multimodal parsers capable of interpreting messy instrument outputs (XRD, NMR, SEM, mass spec) and lab notebooks into standardized materials databases (CIF files, IUPAC nomenclature). It also demands custom graph neural networks (GNNs) or equivariant diffusion models (e.g., SchNet, Crystal-GFN) trained on physical properties, guided by teams with PhD-level materials science and crystallography expertise.
