• Abstract: Generative deep learning has become pivotal in molecular design for drug discovery and materials science. A widely used paradigm is to pretrain neural networks on string representations of molecules and fine-tune them using reinforcement learning on specific objectives. However, string-based models face challenges in ensuring chemical validity and enforcing structural constraints like the presence of specific substructures. We propose to instead combine graph-based molecular representations, which can naturally ensure chemical validity, with transformer architectures, which are highly expressive and capable of modeling long-range dependencies between atoms. Our approach iteratively modifies a molecular graph by adding atoms and bonds, which ensures chemical validity and facilitates the incorporation of structural constraints. We present GraphXForm, a decoder-only graph transformer architecture, which is pretrained on existing compounds and then fine-tuned using a new training algorithm that combines elements of the deep cross-entropy method with self-improvement learning from language modeling, allowing stable fine-tuning of deep transformers with many layers. We evaluate GraphXForm on two solvent design tasks for liquid-liquid extraction, showing that it outperforms four state-of-the-art molecular design techniques, while it can flexibly enforce structural constraints or initiate the design from existing molecular structures.

  We propose a paradigm shift by encoding molecular graphs into Heterogeneous Molecular Graph Learning (KCHML) KCHML conceptualizes molecules through three distinct graph views-molecular, elemental, and pharmacological-enhanced by heterogeneous molecular graphs and a dual message-passing mechanism. This design offers a comprehensive representation for property prediction, as well as for downstream tasks such as drug-drug interaction (DDI) prediction.
