• Abstract: Bridging biomolecular modeling with natural language information, particularly through large language models (LLMs), has recently emerged as a promising interdisciplinary research area. LLMs, having been trained on large corpora of scientific documents, demonstrate significant potential in understanding and reasoning about biomolecules by providing enriched contextual and domain knowledge. However, the extent to which LLM-driven insights can improve performance on complex predictive tasks (e.g., toxicity) remains unclear. Further, the extent to which relevant knowledge can be extracted from LLMs also remains unknown. In this study, we present Molecule Caption Arena: the first comprehensive benchmark of LLM-augmented molecular property prediction. We evaluate over twenty LLMs, including both general-purpose and domain-specific molecule captioners, across diverse prediction tasks. To this goal, we introduce a novel, battle-based rating system. Our findings confirm the ability of LLM-extracted knowledge to enhance state-of-the-art molecular representations, with notable model-, prompt-, and dataset-specific variations. Code, resources, and data are available at github.com/Genentech/molcap-arena.

  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 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.
