Hi Yong, 

I wanted to say that STOUT only generates correct IUPAC names in 90% of the 
cases. Like many deep-learning-based applications, it dreams up the rest. Those 
wrong ones will usually still be relatively close to the correct ones, so it 
depends on your application whether STOUT is helpful for you.
If, for example, you are a chemist (which you aren’t, I read this :), but let’s 
assume you are) and you want to name a few compounds for a paper, then STOUT is 
helpful, and you can correct its occasional mistakes and still have a much 
easier life.
If, however, you want to name 10k compounds in your database, then you cannot 
live with <100% naming success.
If you need 100%, you need to switch to an algorithmic tool like Marvin's name 
generator, referenced in our paper.
I hope that makes sense.

Kind regards, 

Chris
