From Human Labels to Literature: Semi-Supervised Learning of NMR Chemical Shifts at Scale

The paper introduces a semi‑supervised framework that learns to predict nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts from millions of literature‑extracted spectra without explicit atom‑level assignments. By treating the prediction as a permutation‑invariant set supervision problem, the authors show that optimal bipartite matching can be reduced to a sorting‑based loss, enabling stable large‑scale training. The resulting models outperform state‑of‑the‑art methods, generalize better to diverse molecules, and for the first time capture systematic solvent effects across common NMR solvents.

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.

MSAlign: Aligning Molecule and Mass Spectra representations for Metabolite Identification

The paper introduces MSAlign, a lightweight model that aligns frozen foundation models for mass spectra (DreaMS) and molecules (MolDeBERTa) to improve metabolite identification from MS/MS spectra. It presents a unified framework for representation alignment and contrastive learning, demonstrates that a score fusion strategy further boosts performance at minimal cost, and addresses evaluation challenges by quantifying distribution shift in data splitting strategies. All resources, including datasets, splits, and code, are publicly released to promote reproducible research.

Monroe: A Molecular Foundation Model for In-Context Probabilistic Inference

Monroe is a new molecular foundation model that improves upon existing models by pre‑training on over 81 million molecules from the PM6 quantum chemistry dataset, enhancing stereochemistry representation, and introducing novel training losses such as conformer denoising and embedding decorrelation. It also incorporates a prior‑data‑fitted model (TabPFN) for downstream in‑context prediction and demonstrates superior performance on Polaris benchmarks and activity cliff tests. Ablation studies show that the PFN‑based downstream approach can upgrade other models, producing state‑of‑the‑art variants MiniMol_PFN and CheMeleon_PFN.

Hypothesis-and-Refinement Learning of Organic Structures from Multimodal Spectroscopic Data

arXiv:2607. 19816v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Determining molecular structures from spectroscopic data remains fundamentally challenging because the inverse problem is intrinsically underdetermined: individual spectra are sparse, low-dimensional, and encode only partial structural evidence relative to the vast space of possible molecules.
