ElemeNet: Multiscale Molecular Machine Learning with Uncertainty Quantification Across the Periodic Table

arXiv:2606. 30961v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Advances in deep learning architectures and representations have enabled ML-driven chemical property prediction, but state-of-the-art (SOTA) models have remained largely confined to independent codebases and lack support for diverse chemical species.

A General-Purpose Framework for Chemical Reaction Representation with Atomic Correspondence and Flexible Condition Adaptation

The paper introduces Align-React, a chemical reaction representation learning framework that incorporates atomic correspondence between reactants and products, an adapter for embedding reaction conditions, and a Reaction-Center-Aware attention mechanism. These components enable the model to capture precise molecular transformations and focus on critical functional groups, leading to improved performance across a variety of organic reaction tasks. The framework outperforms existing architectures on most benchmark datasets.

SimpleDesign: A Joint Model for Protein Sequence and Structure Codesign

SimpleDesign is a single-stage, end-to-end model for joint protein sequence and structure design that eliminates the need for multi-stage training. It combines discrete cross-entropy for sequences with a regression objective for structures, using a Mixture-of-Transformer architecture to handle modality-specific processing while maintaining global self-attention. Trained on over 2 million sequence-structure pairs, SimpleDesign achieves strong performance on co-design and unconditional generation benchmarks.

Toward Controllable Catalyst Inverse Design via Large-Scale Autoregressive Pretraining

arXiv:2606. 17445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inverse design of heterogeneous catalysts remains challenging because catalyst surfaces exhibit substantial structural complexity with coupled surface-adsorbate interactions across a vast chemical space that is difficult to explore efficiently through conventional screening alone.
