Augmenting Molecular Deep Generative Models with Topological Data Analysis Representations
Deep generative models have emerged as a powerful tool for learning useful molecular representations and designing novel molecules with desired properties, with applications in drug discovery and material design. However, most existing deep generative models are restricted due to lack of spatial information. Here we propose augmentation of deep generative models with topological data analysis (TDA) representations, known as persistence images, for robust encoding of 3D molecular geometry. We show that the TDA augmentation of a character-based Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) outperforms state-of-the-art generative neural nets in accurately modeling the structural composition of the QM9 benchmark. Generated molecules are valid, novel, and diverse, while exhibiting distinct electronic property distribution, namely higher sample population with small HOMO-LUMO gap. These results demonstrate that TDA features indeed provide crucial geometric signal for learning abstract structures, which is non-trivial for existing generative models operating on string, graph, or 3D point sets to capture.
