• Abstract: Reaction virtual screening and discovery are fundamental challenges in chemistry and materials science, where traditional graph neural networks (GNNs) struggle to model multi-reactant interactions. In this work, we propose ChemHGNN, a hypergraph neural network (HGNN) framework that effectively captures high-order relationships in reaction networks. Unlike GNNs, which require constructing complete graphs for multi-reactant reactions, ChemHGNN naturally models multi-reactant reactions through hyperedges, enabling more expressive reaction representations. To address key challenges, such as combinatorial explosion, model collapse, and chemically invalid negative samples, we introduce a reaction center-aware negative sampling strategy (RCNS) and a hierarchical embedding approach combining molecule, reaction and hypergraph level features. Experiments on the USPTO dataset demonstrate that ChemHGNN significantly outperforms HGNN and GNN baselines, particularly in large-scale settings, while maintaining interpretability and chemical plausibility. Our work establishes HGNNs as a superior alternative to GNNs for reaction virtual screening and discovery, offering a chemically informed framework for accelerating reaction discovery.

For combustion, the number of reactions can be significant (over 100) and due to the very large CPU requirements a large number of flow and combustion problems are presently beyond the capabilities of even the largest supercomputers. Motivated by this, novel Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are introduced to approximate stiff ODEs.
