The thesis presents AI frameworks that accelerate crystalline materials discovery by tackling both crystal property prediction and crystal structure generation. It introduces CrysXPP, CrysGNN, and CrysMMNet for efficient, data‑sparse property prediction using graph autoencoding, self‑supervised pretraining, and multimodal learning. For generation, TGDMat is a text‑guided diffusion model that jointly learns lattice parameters, atomic types, and coordinates, enabling valid, stable, and conditionally generated periodic materials.

ChemMLLM is a unified chemical multimodal large language model designed for molecule understanding and generation across text, SMILES strings, and images. The authors curated five multimodal tasks and benchmarked ChemMLLM against leading general MLLMs, chemical LLMs, and specialized models, finding it outperforms general-purpose MLLMs and matches specialized models on all tasks. The study demonstrates that a single foundation model can handle diverse cross‑modal chemical tasks, including image generation, enabling more intuitive visual human‑AI interaction.

ChemVTS-Bench is a domain-authentic benchmark that evaluates Visual‑Textual‑Symbolic reasoning in multimodal large language models for chemistry. It presents diverse chemical problems—organic molecules, inorganic materials, and 3D crystal structures—in three input modes: visual-only, visual‑text hybrid, and SMILES-based symbolic. The benchmark includes an automated agent workflow for inference, answer verification, and failure diagnosis, and shows that visual-only inputs and structural chemistry remain challenging for current models.
