Gated Graph Recursive Neural Networks for Molecular Property Prediction

Abstract

Molecule property prediction is a fundamental problem for computer-aided drug discovery and materials science. Quantum-chemical simulations such as density functional theory (DFT) have been widely used for calculating the molecule properties, however, because of the heavy computational cost, it is difficult to search a huge number of potential chemical compounds. Machine learning methods for molecular modeling are attractive alternatives, however, the development of expressive, accurate, and scalable graph neural networks for learning molecular representations is still challenging. In this work, we propose a simple and powerful graph neural networks for molecular property prediction. We model a molecular as a directed complete graph in which each atom has a spatial position, and introduce a recursive neural network with simple gating function. We also feed input embeddings for every layers as skip connections to accelerate the training. Experimental results show that our model achieves the state-of-the-art performance on the standard benchmark dataset for molecular property prediction.
