• Abstract summary: We derive machine learning models from over 50 fragment-screening campaigns. We provide a physically interpretable and verifiable representation of what the ML model considers important for successful binding. We find good agreement between the key molecular substructures proposed by the ML model and those assigned manually.

• Abstract: Machine learning (ML) is widely used in drug discovery to train models that predict protein-ligand binding. These models are of great value to medicinal chemists, in particular if they provide case-specific insight into the physical interactions that drive the binding process. In this study we derive ML models from over 50 fragment-screening campaigns to introduce two important elements that we believe are absent in most -- if not all -- ML studies of this type reported to date: First, alongside the observed hits we use to train our models, we incorporate true misses and show that these experimentally validated negative data are of significant importance to the quality of the derived models. Second, we provide a physically interpretable and verifiable representation of what the ML model considers important for successful binding. This representation is derived from a straightforward attribution procedure that explains the prediction in terms of the (inter-)action of chemical environments. Critically, we validate the attribution outcome on a large scale against prior annotations made independently by expert molecular modellers. We find good agreement between the key molecular substructures proposed by the ML model and those assigned manually, even when the model's performance in discriminating hits from misses is far from perfect. By projecting the attribution onto predefined interaction prototypes (pharmacophores), we show that ML allows us to formulate simple rules for what drives fragment binding against a target automatically from screening data.

  In-context Learning (ICL) has become the primary method for performing natural language tasks with Large Language Models (LLMs) In this work, we examine whether this is the result of the aggregation used in corresponding datasets, where trying to combine low-agreement, disparate annotations might lead to annotation artifacts that create detrimental noise in the prompt. Our results indicate that aggregation is a confounding factor in the modeling of subjective tasks, and advocate focusing on modeling individuals instead.

• Extracting Training Data from Unconditional Diffusion Models [76.85077961718875]
  diffusion probabilistic models (DPMs) are being employed as mainstream models for generative artificial intelligence (AI) We aim to establish a theoretical understanding of memorization in DPMs with 1) a memorization metric for theoretical analysis, 2) an analysis of conditional memorization with informative and random labels, and 3) two better evaluation metrics for measuring memorization. Based on the theoretical analysis, we propose a novel data extraction method called textbfSurrogate condItional Data Extraction (SIDE) that leverages a trained on generated data as a surrogate condition to extract training data directly from unconditional diffusion models.

  Low-rank approximation techniques have become the de facto standard for fine-tuning Large Language Models. This paper investigates the effectiveness of these methods in capturing the shift of fine-tuning datasets from the initial pre-trained data distribution. We show that low-rank fine-tuning inadvertently preserves undesirable biases and toxic behaviors.

  This study introduces a systematic framework to compare the efficacy of Large Language Models (LLMs) for fine-tuning across various cheminformatics tasks. We assessed three well-known models-RoBERTa, BART, and LLaMA-on their ability to predict molecular properties. We found that LLaMA-based models generally offered the lowest validation loss, suggesting their superior adaptability across tasks and scales.

  We propose to detect OOD molecules by adopting an auxiliary diffusion model-based framework, which compares similarities between input molecules and reconstructed graphs. Due to the generative bias towards reconstructing ID training samples, the similarity scores of OOD molecules will be much lower to facilitate detection. Our research pioneers an approach of Prototypical Graph Reconstruction for Molecular OOD Detection, dubbed as PGR-MOOD and hinges on three innovations.

  deep learning has become an important tool for rapid screening of billions of molecules in silico for potential hits containing desired chemical features. Despite its importance, substantial challenges persist in training these models, such as severe class imbalance, high decision thresholds, and lack of ground truth labels in some datasets. We argue in favor of directly optimizing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) in such cases, due to its robustness to class imbalance.
