  • Dendral

    Dendral
    The Dendral was created by Edward Feigenbaum. Its primary aim was to study hypothesis formation and discovery in science. For that, a specific task in science was chosen: help organic chemists in identifying unknown organic molecules, by analyzing their mass spectra and using knowledge of chemistry
