Deep generative models are able to suggest new organic molecules by generating strings, trees, and graphs representing their structure.

Searching new molecules in areas like drug discovery often starts from the core structures of candidate molecules to optimize the properties of interest.

Recent methods for generating novel molecules use graph representations of molecules and employ various forms of graph convolutional neural networks for inference. However, training requires solving an expensive graph isomorphism problem, which previous approaches do not address or solve only approximately. In this wor…

The discovery of novel materials and functional molecules can help to solve some of society's most urgent challenges, ranging from efficient energy harvesting and storage to uncovering novel pharmaceutical drug candidates. Traditionally matter engineering -- generally denoted as inverse design -- was based massively on…
Designing a new drug is a lengthy and expensive process. As the space of potential molecules is very large (10^23-10^60), a common technique during drug discovery is to start from a molecule which already has some of the desired properties. An interdisciplinary team of scientists generates hypothesis about the required…

Molecular optimization aims to discover novel molecules with desirable properties.

The new wave of successful generative models in machine learning has increased the interest in deep learning driven de novo drug design.

Predicting the biological function of molecules, be it proteins or drug-like compounds, from their atomic structure is an important and long-standing problem. Function is dictated by structure, since it is by spatial interactions that molecules interact with each other, both in terms of steric complementarity, as well …
