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.

arXiv:2511. 19264v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) construct molecules through sequential decisions, but their internal policies remain opaque, limiting adoption in drug discovery, where chemists need interpretable rationales for proposed structures.
