Retrieval-Augmented Foundation Models for Matched Molecular Pair Transformations to Recapitulate Medicinal Chemistry Intuition

Bo Pan, Peter Zhiping Zhang, Hao-Wei Pang +4

Matched molecular pairs (MMPs) capture the local chemical edits that medicinal chemists routinely use to design analogs, but existing ML approaches either operate at the whole-mole…

Bi-Level Prompt Optimization for Multimodal LLM-as-a-Judge

Bo Pan, Xuan Kan, Kaitai Zhang +6

Large language models (LLMs) have become widely adopted as automated judges for evaluating AI-generated content. Despite their success, aligning LLM-based evaluations with human ju…

GRAG: Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Yuntong Hu, Zhihan Lei, Zheng Zhang +3

Naive Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) focuses on individual documents during retrieval and, as a result, falls short in handling networked documents which are very popular in…
