TL;DR

Visualization and prototype preference analyses indicate that PACL separates structurally similar molecules with different functional properties more clearly in task-aligned representation spaces, supporting adaptive substructure contrastive learning and task-specific semantic alignment as an effective strategy for multi-task molecular property prediction in data-limited settings.

Task-adaptive multimodal molecular representations for structure-sensitive property prediction

CAMF (Chirality- and Activity-cliff-aware Multimodal Framework), a task-adaptive framework that models SSPs through selective integration of complementary molecular evidence, reveals that modality relevance is strongly task-dependent, with descriptors and 3D geometry becoming especially important in non-smooth property...

Toward Imbalanced Molecular Property Regression: A Benchmark Study and Interval-Aware Mixture of Experts

Molecular property prediction is a key task in AI-driven drug discovery, yet the prevalence and impact of label imbalances in molecular property regression remain poorly understood. Through a systematic benchmark of widely used molecular property data sets, we show that target values are often highly imbalanced and tha...

CalibHyper: Chance-Corrected Relational Hypergraphs for Few-Shot Molecular Property Prediction

Molecular property prediction is central to drug development and materials discovery, but experiments are costly and labeled data are scarce. Context-aware methods use auxiliary assay labels to support few-shot prediction, and recent work supervises property relations with label agreement. However, label agreement is s...

InFo-DRP: Integrating Invariant Learning and Foundation Representations for Unseen Drug Response Prediction.

Accurate prediction of cancer cell responses to chemical compounds remains a fundamental challenge in precision oncology and drug discovery. Although several drug response prediction (DRP) models have been proposed, most were evaluated using random splits of drug-cell line pairs, allowing the same drugs to appear in bo...
