The paper presents a deep learning approach that converts nanopore resistive pulse signals into scaleograms using continuous wavelet transforms, enabling the classification of peptides as an image‑classification problem. On a dataset of 42 peptides, the method achieves an 82% macro‑averaged accuracy, outperforming previous descriptor‑based techniques by 8.6 percentage points. The models also remain accurate after significant weight pruning and 8‑bit quantization, making them suitable for deployment on embedded sensing hardware.

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 investigates how explicitly supervising molecular embeddings with a molecule’s Bemis‑Murcko scaffold influences representation learning. Experiments compare Euclidean and Lorentz contrastive objectives under two augmentation strengths, showing that scaffold‑supervised models consistently group molecules by identical and related scaffolds. These embeddings also enhance property prediction on several tasks, though the magnitude of improvement varies with the target property and the geometry used.

WEECFP-SuRGE introduces a position‑aware substructure encoding method that combines tokenized hierarchical Morgan fingerprints with graph‑distance‑dependent rotations applied at the input and within transformer self‑attention. The approach captures local chemistry, long‑range interactions, and molecular topology without requiring external pretraining or 3‑D conformer generation. Benchmarks on MoleculeNet and the Therapeutic Data Commons ADMET datasets show competitive performance, and a reconstruction procedure correctly identifies constitutional isomers for 92.6% of a 4,200‑molecule library.

The study evaluates four pretrained molecular language models on six virtual libraries covering drug discovery, organic materials, and catalysis. It finds that native embeddings vary widely in performance, while molecular fingerprints remain consistently strong. Fine‑tuning the models on library‑specific data markedly improves sample efficiency, with several adapted encoders outperforming others across all tasks.
