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.

The paper introduces MolPAIR, a framework that enhances tabular foundation models (TFMs) for predicting molecular properties under structural shifts by incorporating molecule-level and molecular-pair contexts without task‑specific parameter updates. MolPAIR refines initial predictions from a global TFM by using a second frozen TFM to predict differences in prediction errors between a query molecule and labeled reference molecules. Experiments on 58 MoleculeACE and Polaris tasks show that MolPAIR improves performance on 46 tasks across multiple molecular representations and TFM backbones, demonstrating that explicit molecular comparisons strengthen tabular in‑context learning for structural generalization.
