SOLD: SELFIES-based Objective-driven Latent Diffusion
Recently, machine learning has made a significant impact on de novo drug design. However, current approaches to creating novel molecules conditioned on a target protein typically rely on generating molecules directly in the 3D conformational space, which are often slow and overly complex. In this work, we propose SOLD (SELFIES-based Objective-driven Latent Diffusion), a novel latent diffusion model that generates molecules in a latent space derived from 1D SELFIES strings and conditioned on a target protein. In the process, we also train an innovative SELFIES transformer and propose a new way to balance losses when training multi-task machine learning models.Our model generates high-affinity molecules for the target protein in a simple and efficient way, while also leaving room for future improvements through the addition of more data.

Training-Free Generative Sampling via Moment-Matched Score Smoothing
Diffusion models generate samples by denoising along the score of a perturbed target distribution. In practice, one trains a neural diffusion model, which is computationally expensive. Recent work suggests that score mat…
