Before revision:  The approach precludes the need for expert knowledge in proposing candidate reactions, such that the inference is autonomous and applicable to new systemsfor which there is no existing empirical knowledge to propose reaction pathways .
After revision:  We demonstrate the successful implementations and the robustness of the approach in elucidating the chemical reaction pathways of several chemical engineering and biochemical systems. The autonomous inference by the CRNN approach precludes the need for expert knowledge in proposing candidate reactions, such that the inference is autonomous and applicable to new systemsfor which there is no existing empirical knowledge to propose reaction pathways .
