Two of the first AI programs in chemistry were DEND-RAL and OCSS." The DENDRAL project can actually be broken into two separate subprojects, as shown in Figure 3. The first is heuristic-DENDRAL, which was a rule-based program whose purpose was to elucidate the possible structures for a molecule based on the mass spectrum. The second is Meta-DENDRAL, which was a learning program that accepted structure-spectrum pairs and attempted to create rules that would be usable by heuristic-DENDRAL.
