arXiv:2605. 13894v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this work, we introduce a Tropical Axial Attention neural reasoning architecture that replaces vanilla softmax dot-product attention with max-plus operators, inducing a piecewise-linear structure aligned with dynamic programming formulations.

The study investigates whether self‑supervised pretraining improves molecular graph neural networks by adapting the LeJEPA architecture to molecular graphs. While pretraining enhances learned representations and a frozen probe outperforms random initialization on tasks such as ogbg‑molhiv, it does not consistently boost finetuning performance across different data splits. Combining pretrained embeddings with 1024‑bit Morgan fingerprints yields modest gains, indicating that pretraining provides complementary information best exploited at the feature level.

Hyperparameter optimization (HPO) for Random Forest faces a specific difficulty in tuning the number of trees: the predictive score typically improves monotonically with ensemble size, so standard methods such as Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) and Hyperband require a predefined search range and often drive the estimate toward its right boundary. Early-stopping strategies avoid fixing such a range, but can be sensitive to score noise and prone to premature stopping.
arXiv:2607. 21607v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph Neural Networks propagate information through local message passing, but the graph topologies themselves can silently prevent any amount of training from solving long-range tasks.

WEECFP-SuRGE introduces a 1024‑dimensional, parameter‑free continuous fingerprint that distributes each Morgan substructure across about thirty‑two signed positions in a single vector. The accompanying transformer architecture applies Substructure Rotary Graph‑distance Encoding (SuRGE), a RoPE‑like rotation based on molecular shortest‑path graph distance, to the fingerprint tokens. In benchmark tests, a seven‑model blend of this architecture achieves top rankings on the TDC ADMET leaderboard and outperforms classical fingerprints on most MoleculeNet regression tasks, while its tokenization scheme is shown to be near‑lossless and highly efficient for positional memory.
