Data-driven Effective Modeling of Stochastic Chemical Reaction Networks

The paper introduces a data-driven effective model for stochastic chemical reaction networks that bypasses the high computational cost of the Stochastic Simulation Algorithm (SSA). By approximating the finite-time transition kernel of the SSA-induced continuous-time Markov chain with a generative machine learning model, the method operates on a user-defined coarse time step independent of microscopic reaction events. Using a conditional normalizing flow as the stochastic propagator, the trained model recursively generates statistically consistent trajectories, achieving significant computational savings while maintaining accuracy, as demonstrated through numerous numerical examples.

RxnCLF: Contrastive Transformation-Aware Reaction Foundation Model for Improved Reactivity Prediction

arXiv:2608. 06259v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reaction yield prediction remains challenging because labeled data are scarce and reaction space is both combinatorially large and sparsely populated, limiting the generalization of existing reaction representations.

Variational Bayesian Flow Network for Graph Generation

The paper introduces Variational Bayesian Flow Network (VBFN), a graph generation model that lifts Bayesian updates to a joint Gaussian belief family with structured precisions, enabling coupled node and edge updates in a single fusion step. By constructing sample‑agnostic sparse precisions from a representation‑induced dependency graph, VBFN avoids label leakage while enforcing node‑edge consistency. Experiments on synthetic and molecular graph datasets show that VBFN improves fidelity and diversity over baseline methods.
