• Abstract: Graphs are central to the chemical sciences, providing a natural language to describe molecules, proteins, reactions, and industrial processes. They capture interactions and structures that underpin materials, biology, and medicine. This primer, Graph Data Modeling: Molecules, Proteins, & Chemical Processes, introduces graphs as mathematical objects in chemistry and shows how learning algorithms (particularly graph neural networks) can operate on them. We outline the foundations of graph design, key prediction tasks, representative examples across chemical sciences, and the role of machine learning in graph-based modeling. Together, these concepts prepare readers to apply graph methods to the next generation of chemical discovery.

  Graph neural networks (GNNs) are a novel machine learning method that directly work on the molecular graph. GNNs allow to learn properties in an end-to-end fashion, thereby avoiding the need for informative descriptors. We describe the fundamentals of GNNs and demonstrate the application of GNNs via two examples for molecular property prediction.

  Molecular representation learning contributes to multiple downstream tasks such as molecular property prediction and drug design. We construct a Chemical Element Knowledge Graph (KG) to summarize microscopic associations between elements. The first module, knowledge-guided graph augmentation, augments the original molecular graph based on the Chemical Element KG. The second module, knowledge-aware graph representation, extracts molecular representations with a common graph encoder for the original molecular graph and a Knowledge-aware Message Passing Neural Network (KMPNN) to encode complex information in the augmented molecular graph.

  We propose an end-to-end framework that learns an implicit model of graph structure formation and discovers an underlying optimization mechanism. The learned objective can serve as an explanation for the observed graph properties, thereby lending itself to transfer across different graphs within a domain. GraphOpt poses link formation in graphs as a sequential decision-making process and solves it using maximum entropy inverse reinforcement learning algorithm.
