Multimodal Molecular Representation Learning with Graph Neural Networks, Deep & Cross Networks, and SMILES Embeddings

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.

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.

A General-Purpose Framework for Chemical Reaction Representation with Atomic Correspondence and Flexible Condition Adaptation

The paper introduces Align-React, a chemical reaction representation learning framework that incorporates atomic correspondence between reactants and products, an adapter for embedding reaction conditions, and a Reaction-Center-Aware attention mechanism. These components enable the model to capture precise molecular transformations and focus on critical functional groups, leading to improved performance across a variety of organic reaction tasks. The framework outperforms existing architectures on most benchmark datasets.

ChemVTS-Bench: Evaluating Visual-Textual-Symbolic Reasoning of Multimodal Large Language Models in Chemistry

ChemVTS-Bench is a domain-authentic benchmark that evaluates Visual‑Textual‑Symbolic reasoning in multimodal large language models for chemistry. It presents diverse chemical problems—organic molecules, inorganic materials, and 3D crystal structures—in three input modes: visual-only, visual‑text hybrid, and SMILES-based symbolic. The benchmark includes an automated agent workflow for inference, answer verification, and failure diagnosis, and shows that visual-only inputs and structural chemistry remain challenging for current models.

Order Matters in Retrosynthesis: Structure-aware Generation via Reaction-Center-Guided Discrete Flow Matching

arXiv:2602. 13136v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Template-free retrosynthesis methods treat the task as black-box sequence generation, limiting learning efficiency, while semi-template approaches rely on rigid reaction libraries that constrain generalization.

Mol-JEPA: A multimodal Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture for Molecules

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.

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.
