• Abstract summary: template-based (TB) and template-free (TF) molecule graph learning methods have shown promising results to retrosynthesis. We propose breaking a full-template into several semi-templates and embedding them into the two-step TF framework. Experimental results show that SemiRetro significantly outperforms both existing TB and TF methods.

• Abstract: Recently, template-based (TB) and template-free (TF) molecule graph learning methods have shown promising results to retrosynthesis. TB methods are more accurate using pre-encoded reaction templates, and TF methods are more scalable by decomposing retrosynthesis into subproblems, i.e., center identification and synthon completion. To combine both advantages of TB and TF, we suggest breaking a full-template into several semi-templates and embedding them into the two-step TF framework. Since many semi-templates are reduplicative, the template redundancy can be reduced while the essential chemical knowledge is still preserved to facilitate synthon completion. We call our method SemiRetro, introduce a new GNN layer (DRGAT) to enhance center identification, and propose a novel self-correcting module to improve semi-template classification. Experimental results show that SemiRetro significantly outperforms both existing TB and TF methods. In scalability, SemiRetro covers 98.9\% data using 150 semi-templates, while previous template-based GLN requires 11,647 templates to cover 93.3\% data. In top-1 accuracy, SemiRetro exceeds template-free G2G 4.8\% (class known) and 6.0\% (class unknown). Besides, SemiRetro has better training efficiency than existing methods.
