The paper introduces a data-driven effective model for stochastic chemical reaction networks that bypasses the high computational cost of the Stochastic Simulation Algorithm (SSA). By approximating the finite-time transition kernel of the SSA-induced continuous-time Markov chain with a generative machine learning model, the method operates on a user-defined coarse time step independent of microscopic reaction events. Using a conditional normalizing flow as the stochastic propagator, the trained model recursively generates statistically consistent trajectories, achieving significant computational savings while maintaining accuracy, as demonstrated through numerous numerical examples.

MAELLE is a mechanistic reaction prediction framework that models chemical reactions as discrete flow matching over graph-structured electron occupation vectors. It formulates the reactant-to-product mapping as a Continuous-time Markov Chain on electron sites and uses Optimal Transport to generate mechanistically interpretable edit trajectories without elementary step annotations. The method achieves competitive accuracy on the USPTO-480K benchmark, remains robust in out-of-distribution scenarios, and can recover mechanistic pathways that align with known chemistry and predict side products.
