• Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNNs) have emerged as powerful tools to accurately predict materials and molecular properties in computational discovery pipelines. In this article, we exploit the invertible nature of these neural networks to directly generate molecular structures with desired electronic properties. Starting from a random graph or an existing molecule, we perform a gradient ascent while holding the GNN weights fixed in order to optimize its input, the molecular graph, towards the target property. Valence rules are enforced strictly through a judicious graph construction. The method relies entirely on the property predictor; no additional training is required on molecular structures. We demonstrate the application of this method by generating molecules with specific DFT-verified energy gaps and octanol-water partition coefficients (logP). Our approach hits target properties with rates comparable to or better than state-of-the-art generative models while consistently generating more diverse molecules.

  This work explores the challenging problem of molecule design by framing it as a conditional generative modeling task. We propose a novel generative model comprising three components: (1) a latent vector with a learnable prior distribution; (2) a molecule generation model based on a causal Transformer, which uses the latent vector as a prompt; and (3) a property prediction model that predicts a molecule's target properties and/or constraint values using the latent prompt.

• Bi-level Contrastive Learning for Knowledge-Enhanced Molecule Representations [55.42602325017405]
  We propose a novel method called GODE, which takes into account the two-level structure of individual molecules. By pre-training two graph neural networks (GNNs) on different graph structures, combined with contrastive learning, GODE fuses molecular structures with their corresponding knowledge graph substructures. When fine-tuned across 11 chemical property tasks, our model outperforms existing benchmarks, registering an average ROC-AUC uplift of 13.8% for classification tasks and an average RMSE/MAE enhancement of 35.1% for regression tasks.

  We propose a novel paradigm of "pre-train, prompt, fine-tune" for molecular representation learning, named molecule continuous prompt tuning (MolCPT) MolCPT defines a motif prompting function that uses the pre-trained model to project the standalone input into an expressive prompt. Experiments on several benchmark datasets show that MolCPT efficiently generalizes pre-trained GNNs for molecular property prediction.
