Attention-Based Learning on Molecular Ensembles
The three-dimensional shape and conformation of small-molecule ligands are critical for biomolecular recognition, yet encoding 3D geometry has not improved ligand-based virtual screening approaches. We describe an end-to-end deep learning approach that operates directly on small-molecule conformational ensembles and identifies key conformational poses of small-molecules. Our networks leverage two levels of representation learning: 1) individual conformers are first encoded as spatial graphs using a graph neural network, and 2) sampled conformational ensembles are represented as sets using an attention mechanism to aggregate over individual instances. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach on a simple task based on bidentate coordination of biaryl ligands, and show how attention-based pooling can elucidate key conformational poses in tasks based on molecular geometry. This work illustrates how set-based learning approaches may be further developed for small molecule-based virtual screening.

MolFM-Lite: Multi-Modal Molecular Property Prediction with Conformer Ensemble Attention and Cross-Modal Fusion
Most machine learning models for molecular property prediction rely on a single molecular representation (either a sequence, a graph, or a 3D structure) and treat molecular geometry as static. We present MolFM-Lite, a mu…
