Comments.Text: This could end up being much harder or much easier than classifying images of molecules when there are almost an unlimited number of categories, but my first thought was to write a piece of software that will take an image of a molecule and produce a drawing of it that could be recognized by a program that is designed to recognize drawings. (I think ChemDraw does this.)
