Training Large Language Models for Small-Molecule Design with Synthetic Task Scaling
Frank Hu, Shriram Chennakesavalu, Zichen Wang +5
Designing viable drug candidates requires searching a combinatorially large and rugged chemical space for molecules that satisfy multiple, often competing, objectives. Large langua…
SynLaD: Latent Diffusion for Generating Synthesizable Molecules Conditioned on 3D Pharmacophore Profiles
Miruna Cretu, John Bradshaw, Patricia Suriana +6
We present SynLaD, a latent diffusion framework for small-molecule generation that unifies ligand-based drug design objectives (what to make) with synthetic accessibility (how to m…
Evaluating the Progression of Large Language Model Capabilities for Small-Molecule Drug Design
Shriram Chennakesavalu, Kirill Shmilovich, Hayley Weir +5
Large Language Models (LLMs) have the potential to accelerate small molecule drug design due to their ability to reason about information from diverse sources and formats. However,…
Beyond Atoms: Evaluating Electron Density Representation for 3D Molecular Learning
Patricia Suriana, Joshua A. Rackers, Ewa M. Nowara +3
Machine learning models for 3D molecular property prediction typically rely on atom-based representations, which may overlook subtle physical information. Electron density maps --…
Do we need equivariant models for molecule generation?
Ewa M. Nowara, Joshua Rackers, Patricia Suriana +4
Deep generative models are increasingly used for molecular discovery, with most recent approaches relying on equivariant graph neural networks (GNNs) under the assumption that expl…
