Models based on machine learning can enable accurate and fast molecular property predictions, which is of interest in drug discovery and material design. Various supervised machine learning models have demonstrated promising performance, but the vast chemical space and the limited availability of property labels make supervised learning challenging. Recently, unsupervised transformer-based language models pretrained on a large unlabelled corpus have produced state-of-the-art results in many downstream natural language processing tasks. Inspired by this development, we present molecular embeddings obtained by training an efficient transformer encoder model, MoLFormer, which uses rotary positional embeddings. This model employs a linear attention mechanism, coupled with highly distributed training, on SMILES sequences of 1.1 billion unlabelled molecules from the PubChem and ZINC datasets. We show that the learned molecular representation outperforms existing baselines, including supervised and self-supervised graph neural networks and language models, on several downstream tasks from ten benchmark datasets. They perform competitively on two others. Further analyses, specifically through the lens of attention, demonstrate that MoLFormer trained on chemical SMILES indeed learns the spatial relationships between atoms within a molecule. These results provide encouraging evidence that large-scale molecular language models can capture sufficient chemical and structural information to predict various distinct molecular properties, including quantum-chemical properties.

Models that accurately predict properties based on chemical structure are valuable tools in drug discovery. However, for many properties, public and private training sets are typically small, and it is difficult for the models to generalize well outside of the training data. Recently, large language models have addressed this problem by using self-supervised pretraining on large unlabeled datasets, followed by fine-tuning on smaller, labeled datasets. In this paper, we report MolE, a molecular foundation model that adapts the DeBERTa architecture to be used on molecular graphs together with a two-step pretraining strategy. The first step of pretraining is a self-supervised approach focused on learning chemical structures, and the second step is a massive multi-task approach to learn biological information. We show that fine-tuning pretrained MolE achieves state-of-the-art results on 9 of the 22 ADMET tasks included in the Therapeutic Data Commons.

Although substantial efforts have been made using graph neural networks (GNNs) for AI-driven drug discovery (AIDD), effective molecular representation learning remains an open challenge, especially in the case of insufficient labeled molecules. Recent studies suggest that big GNN models pre-trained by self-supervised learning on unlabeled datasets enable better transfer performance in downstream molecular property prediction tasks. However, they often require large-scale datasets and considerable computational resources, which is time-consuming, computationally expensive, and environmentally unfriendly. To alleviate these limitations, we propose a novel pre-training model for molecular representation learning, Bi-branch Masked Graph Transformer Autoencoder (BatmanNet). BatmanNet features two tailored and complementary graph autoencoders to reconstruct the missing nodes and edges from a masked molecular graph. To our surprise, BatmanNet discovered that the highly masked proportion (60%) of the atoms and bonds achieved the best performance. We further propose an asymmetric graph-based encoder-decoder architecture for either nodes and edges, where a transformer-based encoder only takes the visible subset of nodes or edges, and a lightweight decoder reconstructs the original molecule from the latent representation and mask tokens. With this simple yet effective asymmetrical design, our BatmanNet can learn efficiently even from a much smaller-scale unlabeled molecular dataset to capture the underlying structural and semantic information, overcoming a major limitation of current deep neural networks for molecular representation learning. For instance, using only 250K unlabelled molecules as pre-training data, our BatmanNet with 2.575M parameters achieves a 0.5% improvement on the average AUC compared with the current state-of-the-art method with 100M parameters pre-trained on 11M molecules.

We discover a robust self-supervised strategy tailored towards molecular representations for generative masked language models through a series of tailored, in-depth ablations. Using this pre-training strategy, we train BARTSmiles, a BART-like model with an order of magnitude more compute than previous self-supervised molecular representations. In-depth evaluations show that BARTSmiles consistently outperforms other self-supervised representations across classification, regression, and generation tasks setting a new state-of-the-art on 11 tasks. We then quantitatively show that when applied to the molecular domain, the BART objective learns representations that implicitly encode our downstream tasks of interest. For example, by selecting seven neurons from a frozen BARTSmiles, we can obtain a model having performance within two percentage points of the full fine-tuned model on task Clintox. Lastly, we show that standard attribution interpretability methods, when applied to BARTSmiles, highlight certain substructures that chemists use to explain specific properties of molecules. The code and the pretrained model are publicly available.

自我监督学习（SSL）是一种通过利用数据中固有的监督来学习数据表示的方法。这种学习方法是药物领域的焦点，由于耗时且昂贵的实验，缺乏带注释的数据。使用巨大未标记数据的SSL显示出在分子属性预测方面表现出色的性能，但存在一些问题。 （1）现有的SSL模型是大规模的；在计算资源不足的情况下实现SSL有限制。 （2）在大多数情况下，它们不利用3D结构信息进行分子表示学习。药物的活性与药物分子的结构密切相关。但是，大多数当前模型不使用3D信息或部分使用它。 （3）以前对分子进行对比学习的模型使用置换原子和键的增强。因此，具有不同特征的分子可以在相同的阳性样品中。我们提出了一个新颖的对比学习框架，用于分子属性预测的小规模3D图对比度学习（3DGCL），以解决上述问题。 3DGCL通过不改变药物语义的预训练过程来反映分子的结构来学习分子表示。仅使用1,128个样本用于预训练数据和100万个模型参数，我们在四个回归基准数据集中实现了最先进或可比性的性能。广泛的实验表明，基于化学知识的3D结构信息对于用于财产预测的分子表示学习至关重要。

分子特性预测是与关键现实影响的深度学习的增长最快的应用之一。包括3D分子结构作为学习模型的输入可以提高它们对许多分子任务的性能。但是，此信息是不可行的，可以以几个现实世界应用程序所需的规模计算。我们建议预先训练模型，以推理仅给予其仅为2D分子图的分子的几何形状。使用来自自我监督学习的方法，我们最大化3D汇总向量和图形神经网络（GNN）的表示之间的相互信息，使得它们包含潜在的3D信息。在具有未知几何形状的分子上进行微调期间，GNN仍然产生隐式3D信息，并可以使用它来改善下游任务。我们表明3D预训练为广泛的性质提供了显着的改进，例如八个量子力学性能的22％的平均MAE。此外，可以在不同分子空间中的数据集之间有效地传送所学习的表示。

Many applications of machine learning require a model to make accurate predictions on test examples that are distributionally different from training ones, while task-specific labels are scarce during training. An effective approach to this challenge is to pre-train a model on related tasks where data is abundant, and then fine-tune it on a downstream task of interest. While pre-training has been effective in many language and vision domains, it remains an open question how to effectively use pre-training on graph datasets. In this paper, we develop a new strategy and self-supervised methods for pre-training Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). The key to the success of our strategy is to pre-train an expressive GNN at the level of individual nodes as well as entire graphs so that the GNN can learn useful local and global representations simultaneously. We systematically study pre-training on multiple graph classification datasets. We find that naïve strategies, which pre-train GNNs at the level of either entire graphs or individual nodes, give limited improvement and can even lead to negative transfer on many downstream tasks. In contrast, our strategy avoids negative transfer and improves generalization significantly across downstream tasks, leading up to 9.4% absolute improvements in ROC-AUC over non-pre-trained models and achieving state-of-the-art performance for molecular property prediction and protein function prediction.However, pre-training on graph datasets remains a hard challenge. Several key studies (

Molecular representation learning is crucial for the problem of molecular property prediction, where graph neural networks (GNNs) serve as an effective solution due to their structure modeling capabilities. Since labeled data is often scarce and expensive to obtain, it is a great challenge for GNNs to generalize in the extensive molecular space. Recently, the training paradigm of "pre-train, fine-tune" has been leveraged to improve the generalization capabilities of GNNs. It uses self-supervised information to pre-train the GNN, and then performs fine-tuning to optimize the downstream task with just a few labels. However, pre-training does not always yield statistically significant improvement, especially for self-supervised learning with random structural masking. In fact, the molecular structure is characterized by motif subgraphs, which are frequently occurring and influence molecular properties. To leverage the task-related motifs, 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. The prompt effectively augments the molecular graph with meaningful motifs in the continuous representation space; this provides more structural patterns to aid the downstream classifier in identifying molecular properties. Extensive experiments on several benchmark datasets show that MolCPT efficiently generalizes pre-trained GNNs for molecular property prediction, with or without a few fine-tuning steps.

变压器架构已成为许多域中的主导选择，例如自然语言处理和计算机视觉。然而，与主流GNN变体相比，它对图形水平预测的流行排行榜没有竞争表现。因此，它仍然是一个谜，变形金机如何对图形表示学习表现良好。在本文中，我们通过提出了基于标准变压器架构构建的Gragemer来解决这一神秘性，并且可以在广泛的图形表示学习任务中获得优异的结果，特别是在最近的OGB大规模挑战上。我们在图中利用变压器的关键洞察是有效地将图形的结构信息有效地编码到模型中。为此，我们提出了几种简单但有效的结构编码方法，以帮助Gramemormer更好的模型图形结构数据。此外，我们在数学上表征了Gramemormer的表现力，并展示了我们编码图形结构信息的方式，许多流行的GNN变体都可以被涵盖为GrameRormer的特殊情况。

对聚合物性质的准确预测在聚合物的开发和设计中具有重要意义。通常，需要进行昂贵且耗时的实验或模拟来评估聚合物的功能。最近，配备了注意力机制的变压器模型在各种自然语言处理任务中表现出卓越的性能。但是，这种方法尚未在聚合物科学中进行研究。在此，我们报告了TransPolymer，这是一种基于变压器的语言模型，用于聚合物属性预测。由于我们提出的具有化学意识的聚合物令牌，转染剂可以直接从聚合物序列中学习表示。该模型通过在大型未标记数据集上进行预处理，从而学习表达性表示，然后在下游数据集上进行有关各种聚合物属性的模型。转聚合物在所有八个数据集中都能达到卓越的性能，并且在大多数下游任务上都显着超过其他基线。此外，预处理的转聚合物对监督转聚合物和其他语言模型的改善增强了对代表学习中大型未标记数据预处理的显着好处。实验结果进一步证明了注意机制在理解聚合物序列中的重要作用。我们强调该模型是一种有前途的计算工具，用于促进数据科学视图中的结构 - 质谱关系。

Recently, deep learning approaches have been extensively studied for various problems in chemistry, such as property prediction, virtual screening, de novo molecule design, etc. Despite the impressive successes, separately designed networks for specific tasks are usually required for end-to-end training, so it is often difficult to acquire a unified principle to synergistically combine existing models and training datasets for novel tasks. To address this, here we present a novel multimodal chemical foundation model that can be used for various downstream tasks that require a simultaneous understanding of structure and property. Specifically, inspired by recent advances in pre-trained multi-modal foundation models such as Vision-Language Pretrained models (VLP), we proposed a novel structure-property multi-modal (SPMM) foundation model using the dual-stream transformer with X-shape attention, so that it can align the molecule structure and the chemical properties in a common embedding space. Thanks to the outstanding structure-property unimodal representation, experimental results confirm that SPMM can simultaneously perform molecule generation, property prediction, classification, reaction prediction, etc., which was previously not possible with a single architecture.

图表自学学习（GSSL）铺平了无需专家注释的学习图嵌入的方式，这对分子图特别有影响，因为可能的分子数量很大，并且标签昂贵。但是，通过设计，GSSL方法没有经过训练，可以在一个下游任务上表现良好，而是旨在将其转移到许多人方面，从而使评估不那么直接。作为获得具有多种多样且可解释属性的分子图嵌入曲线的一步，我们引入了分子图表示评估（Molgrapheval），这是一组探针任务，分为（i）拓扑 - ，（ii）子结构 - 和（iii）和（iii）嵌入空间属性。通过对现有下游数据集和Molgrapheval上的现有GSSL方法进行基准测试，我们发现单独从现有数据集中得出的结论与更细粒度的探测之间存在令人惊讶的差异，这表明当前的评估协议没有提供整个图片。我们的模块化，自动化的端到端GSSL管道代码将在接受后发布，包括标准化的图形加载，实验管理和嵌入评估。

人工智能（AI）已被广泛应用于药物发现中，其主要任务是分子财产预测。尽管分子表示学习中AI技术的繁荣，但尚未仔细检查分子性质预测的一些关键方面。在这项研究中，我们对三个代表性模型，即随机森林，莫尔伯特和格罗弗进行了系统比较，该模型分别利用了三个主要的分子表示，扩展连接的指纹，微笑的字符串和分子图。值得注意的是，莫尔伯特（Molbert）和格罗弗（Grover）以自我监督的方式在大规模的无标记分子库中进行了预定。除了常用的分子基准数据集外，我们还组装了一套与阿片类药物相关的数据集进行下游预测评估。我们首先对标签分布和结构分析进行了数据集分析；我们还检查了阿片类药物相关数据集中的活动悬崖问题。然后，我们培训了4,320个预测模型，并评估了学习表示的有用性。此外，我们通过研究统计测试，评估指标和任务设置的效果来探索模型评估。最后，我们将化学空间的概括分解为施加间和支柱内的概括，并测量了预测性能，以评估两种设置下模型的普遍性。通过采取这种喘息，我们反映了分子财产预测的基本关键方面，希望在该领域带来更好的AI技术的意识。

分子性质预测在化学中至关重要，特别是对于药物发现应用。但是，可用的分子属性数据通常受到限制，鼓励信息从相关数据传输。转移学习对计算机视觉和自然语言处理信号等领域产生了巨大影响，以实现其在分子财产预测中的潜力。我们提出了使用反应数据进行分子表示学习的预训练程序，并将其用于预训练微笑变压器。我们对从物理化学，生物物理学和生理学中的分子的12个分子性质预测任务进行微调和评估预先训练的模型，并与非预先训练的基线模型相比，对12个任务中的5个任务显示出统计学上的显着积极作用。

Graph classification is an important area in both modern research and industry. Multiple applications, especially in chemistry and novel drug discovery, encourage rapid development of machine learning models in this area. To keep up with the pace of new research, proper experimental design, fair evaluation, and independent benchmarks are essential. Design of strong baselines is an indispensable element of such works. In this thesis, we explore multiple approaches to graph classification. We focus on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), which emerged as a de facto standard deep learning technique for graph representation learning. Classical approaches, such as graph descriptors and molecular fingerprints, are also addressed. We design fair evaluation experimental protocol and choose proper datasets collection. This allows us to perform numerous experiments and rigorously analyze modern approaches. We arrive to many conclusions, which shed new light on performance and quality of novel algorithms. We investigate application of Jumping Knowledge GNN architecture to graph classification, which proves to be an efficient tool for improving base graph neural network architectures. Multiple improvements to baseline models are also proposed and experimentally verified, which constitutes an important contribution to the field of fair model comparison.

Molecular machine learning has been maturing rapidly over the last few years.Improved methods and the presence of larger datasets have enabled machine learning algorithms to make increasingly accurate predictions about molecular properties. However, algorithmic progress has been limited due to the lack of a standard benchmark to compare the efficacy of proposed methods; most new algorithms are benchmarked on different datasets making it challenging to gauge the quality of proposed methods. This work introduces MoleculeNet, a large scale benchmark for molecular machine learning. MoleculeNet curates multiple public datasets, establishes metrics for evaluation, and offers high quality open-source implementations of multiple previously proposed molecular featurization and learning algorithms (released as part of the DeepChem

学习表达性分子表示对于促进分子特性的准确预测至关重要。尽管图形神经网络（GNNS）在分子表示学习中取得了显着进步，但它们通常面临诸如邻居探索，不足，过度光滑和过度阵列之类的局限性。同样，由于参数数量大，GNN通常具有较高的计算复杂性。通常，当面对相对大尺寸的图形或使用更深的GNN模型体系结构时，这种限制会出现或增加。克服这些问题的一个想法是将分子图简化为小型，丰富且有益的信息，这更有效，更具挑战性的培训GNN。为此，我们提出了一个新颖的分子图粗化框架，名为FUNQG利用函数组，作为分子的有影响力的构件来确定其性质，基于称为商图的图理论概念。通过实验，我们表明所产生的信息图比分子图小得多，因此是训练GNN的良好候选者。我们将FUNQG应用于流行的分子属性预测基准，然后比较所获得的数据集上的GNN体系结构的性能与原始数据集上的几个最先进的基线。通过实验，除了其参数数量和低计算复杂性的急剧减少之外，该方法除了其急剧减少之外，在各种数据集上的表现显着优于先前的基准。因此，FUNQG可以用作解决分子表示学习问题的简单，成本效益且可靠的方法。

使用图神经网络（GNN）提取分子的信息表示，对于AI驱动的药物发现至关重要。最近，图形研究界一直在试图复制自然语言处理预处理的成功，并获得了一些成功。但是，我们发现在许多情况下，自我监督预审计对分子数据的益处可以忽略不计。我们对GNN预处理的关键组成部分进行了彻底的消融研究，包括预处理目标，数据拆分方法，输入特征，预处理数据集量表和GNN体系结构，以决定下游任务的准确性。我们的第一个重要发现是，在许多情况下，自我监督的图表预处理没有统计学上的显着优势。其次，尽管可以通过额外的监督预处理可以观察到改进，但通过更丰富或更平衡的数据拆分，改进可能会减少。第三，实验性超参数对下游任务的准确性具有更大的影响，而不是训练训练的任务。我们假设对分子进行预训练的复杂性不足，从而导致下游任务的可转移知识较低。
