Transport-Coupled Bayesian Flows for Molecular Graph Generation (TopBF) addresses a key mismatch in existing diffusion models for molecular graph generation by eliminating the need for hard discretization during sampling. The framework generates graphs directly in continuous parameter distributions, learns graph topology via a Quasi-Wasserstein optimal‑transport coupling with geodesic costs, and enables property‑conditioned generation without retraining. Experiments on QM9 and ZINC250k show that TopBF achieves higher structural fidelity and more efficient generation compared to prior methods.

PGFS++ is a synthesis‑aware reinforcement learning framework that improves molecular properties while ensuring the resulting molecules can be synthesized and remain structurally similar to the input. It builds on PGFS+ by using trainable embedding lookup tables for reaction templates and second reactants, a more effective scoring function, and a refined RL algorithm. Experiments demonstrate that PGFS++ enhances target properties and preserves high output diversity, overcoming the reward‑hacking failure mode seen in earlier versions.
