- Abstract: Molecular property prediction has gained significant attention due to its
transformative potential in multiple scientific disciplines. Conventionally, a
molecule graph can be represented either as a graph-structured data or a SMILES
text. Recently, the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs) has
revolutionized the field of NLP. Although it is natural to utilize LLMs to
assist in understanding molecules represented by SMILES, the exploration of how
LLMs will impact molecular property prediction is still in its early stage. In
this work, we advance towards this objective through two perspectives:
zero/few-shot molecular classification, and using the new explanations
generated by LLMs as representations of molecules. To be specific, we first
prompt LLMs to do in-context molecular classification and evaluate their
performance. After that, we employ LLMs to generate semantically enriched
explanations for the original SMILES and then leverage that to fine-tune a
small-scale LM model for multiple downstream tasks. The experimental results
highlight the superiority of text explanations as molecular representations
across multiple benchmark datasets, and confirm the immense potential of LLMs
in molecular property prediction tasks. Codes are available at

Large Language Models (LLMs) with their strong task-handling capabilities have shown remarkable advancements across a spectrum of fields.
This study seeks to enhance the ability of LLMs to comprehend molecules by designing and equipping them with a multi-modal external module, namely MolX.
In particular, instead of directly using a SMILES string to represent a molecule, we utilize specific encoders to extract fine-grained features from both SMILES string and 2D molecular graph representations.

We present a novel latent diffusion model dubbed LDMol, which enables a natural text-conditioned molecule generation.

We introduce Hierarchical textual Inversion for Molecular generation (HI-Mol), a novel data-efficient molecular generation method.
HI-Mol is inspired by the importance of hierarchical information, e.g., both coarse- and fine-grained features, in understanding the molecule distribution.
Compared to the conventional textual inversion method in the image domain using a single-level token embedding, our multi-level token embeddings allow the model to effectively learn the underlying low-shot molecule distribution.

We propose In-Context Molecule Adaptation (ICMA), as a new paradigm allowing LLMs to learn the molecule-text alignment from context examples.
