SynLaD: Latent Diffusion for Generating Synthesizable Molecules Conditioned on 3D Pharmacophore Profiles

arXiv:2607. 01105v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present SynLaD, a latent diffusion framework for small-molecule generation that unifies ligand-based drug design objectives (what to make) with synthetic accessibility (how to make it).

Autoregressive latent diffusion for 3D molecule generation

arXiv:2607. 09277v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) molecule generation has been dominated by diffusion models, which achieve strong generation quality but typically require the molecular size to be specified a priori.
