arXiv:2607. 03007v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in molecular large language models have led to strong performance on molecular understanding and generation tasks, yet these gains often come without reliable structural grounding.

Local chemical perception and property reasoning are both essential for understanding how molecular structure determines properties. Current LLM-based chemical reasoning methods either receive SMILES/molecular images together with descriptions of local motifs, or reason directly from molecular images.

arXiv:2607. 21941v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chemists and materials scientists increasingly use machine learning models, such as graph neural networks (GNNs), to predict properties of molecules and the outcomes of their reactions.

arXiv:2606. 18390v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Motivation: Noisy labels are a common challenge in molecular property prediction because molecular annotations are often obtained from assays, curated databases, or weak annotation pipelines rather than directly observed clean biological states.
