Conditional molecular design with deep generative models
Although machine learning has been successfully used to propose novel molecules that satisfy desired properties, it is still challenging to explore a large chemical space efficiently. In this paper, we present a conditional molecular design method that facilitates generating new molecules with desired properties. The proposed model, which simultaneously performs both property prediction and molecule generation, is built as a semi-supervised variational autoencoder trained on a set of existing molecules with only a partial annotation. We generate new molecules with desired properties by sampling from the generative distribution estimated by the model. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model by evaluating it on drug-like molecules. The model improves the performance of property prediction by exploiting unlabeled molecules, and efficiently generates novel molecules fulfilling various target conditions.

Molecular generative model based on conditional variational autoencoder for de novo molecular design
We propose a molecular generative model based on the conditional variational autoencoder for de novo molecular design. It is specialized to control multiple molecular properties simultaneously by imposing them on a laten…
Generative Molecular Morphing for Flexible-Size Design via Unbalanced Optimal Transport
The success of generative molecular design hinges on a model's steerability toward high-reward samples. Because many molecular properties are intrinsically linked to molecular size, accurately capturing the joint distrib…
