Enhancing Molecular Property Predictions by Learning from Bond Modelling and Interactions
arXiv:2603.00568v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Molecule representation learning is crucial for understanding and predicting molecular properties. However, conventional atom-centric models, which treat chemical bonds merely as pairwise interactions, often overlook complex bond-level phenomena like resonance and stereoselectivity. This oversight limits their predictive accuracy for nuanced chemical behaviors. To address this limitation, we introduce textbf{DeMol}, a dual-graph framework whose architecture is motivated by a rigorous information-theoretic analysis demonstrating the information gain from a bond-centric perspective. DeMol explicitly models molecules […]
