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.

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.

Reaction-Transformation-Aware Flow Matching for Generalizable Transition State Generation

arXiv:2608. 14076v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transition-state (TS) structures define the energetic barriers and mechanistic pathways of elementary chemical reactions, yet their identification remains computationally demanding because conventional saddle-point searches require expensive quantum-mechanical calculations.

CatRetriever: Contrastive Representation Learning for Slab-to-Bulk Retrieval in Generative Catalyst Discovery

arXiv:2607. 11712v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inverse design is an emerging data-driven paradigm for efficiently navigating vast chemical spaces to discover new materials with targeted properties, and in the context of heterogeneous catalysis, surface generative models have recently advanced this goal by directly generating catalyst surface-adsorbate structures.
