Text2Cypher

Definition

Text2Cypher is a method leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to translate natural language queries into Cypher, a graph query language. This enables LLMs to interact with reaction knowledge graphs, aiding tasks like chemical synthesis planning by providing grounded, less hallucinated suggestions.
