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.

arXiv:2606. 01595v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian inference provides a principled framework for modeling epistemic uncertainty in neural networks by treating predictions as distributions rather than deterministic values.

arXiv:2607. 05736v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Molecular property prediction often relies on isolated data modalities, where continuous 3D graph neural networks (GNNs) struggle to efficiently capture long-range topological dependencies and exact macroscopic heuristics.

arXiv:2608. 12084v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider the setting of Normalizing flows with approximate inverses, an established paradigm spanning both full-dimensional ($d=D$) and bottleneck ($d<D$) settings, and group these models under the term flow autoencoders.

Mol-JEPA is a scalable multimodal framework that learns molecular world models by using modality masking instead of suboptimal perturbations. It incorporates diverse data such as molecular structures, cellular phenotypes, binding affinities, ADMET profiles, quantum chemistry simulations, and other drug‑discovery information. Benchmarks show that the representations it learns perform strongly, highlighting the benefit of embedding biochemical context via latent‑space prediction.

Score Distillation Sampling (SDS) enables text-to-3D generation by optimizing rendered images with a pretrained diffusion prior, but latent SDS often produces structured color artifacts and high-frequency texture noise. We identify a failure mode of latent SDS caused by VAE-induced pixel drift: the optimized image can move along pixel-space directions that are weakly constrained by the VAE encoder, so its latent representation remains clean and semantically meaningful while the image itself accumulates visible artifacts.
The paper introduces Equivariant-Free Transformer-Autoencoded Latent Flow Matching (EF‑TALFM), a two‑stage generative framework that uses a single fixed‑dimensional latent vector to produce variable‑size 3D molecules. The first stage samples the latent vector via flow matching, and the second stage employs an autoregressive Transformer decoder that determines molecule size while generating atom types, coordinates, and chemical states. EF‑TALFM outperforms prior methods on the PCQM4Mv2 benchmark, achieving higher uniqueness, novelty, and computational throughput, and its internal ranking improves the hit rate for target HOMO–LUMO gaps while maintaining novelty.
Exploring the chemical space of flexible molecules remains challenging because the vast number of possible compounds and conformations, together with the increasing cost and limited generalization of...
