🧵 "Implicit Neural Representations of Molecular Vector-Valued Functions"
arxiv.org/abs/2502.10848
New preprint in which we train modulated neural nets to approximate vector-valued functions representing molecules. We create superresolution repr. of low res protein-ligand pair..
..and interpolate between conformations of a protein-DNA complex. Finally, we train an modulated autoencoder that learns the functions of over 500 small molecules and is able to also smoothly interpolate between them and embed them in a chemically meaningful latent space.
Thanks to the great work of @jirkalhotka, a former master's student at EPFL.
If you're looking for a (fully funded) PhD position in #ml/#ai methodology (with plenty of opportunities to apply it) at the intersection of #chemistry and #biology, don't forget to apply before the end of the year.

Here's a first: I'm hiring a PhD student at @WUR. If you have (or know someone who has) a strong background and interest in computational (bio)chemistry or computer science (especially 3D computer vision), let's work together 😊

In "Learning on compressed molecular representations" Jan Weinreich and I looked into whether GZIP performed better than Neural Networks in chemical ML tasks. Yes, you've read that right.
TL;DR: Yes, GZIP can perform better than baseline GNNs and MLPs ..

.. It even be used on multimodal data, such as amino acid sequences and SMILES strings in binding affinity prediction tasks like this: s = gzip.encode(smiles + " " + aa) For regression or classification, we then use a weighted kNN and the normalised compression distance ..

Molecular dynamics simulations in mixed reality!
With @labriataphd and @lucien_krapp we’re scaling our multi-user WebXR platform to enable immersive molecular simulations, fully based on web technologies.
Stay tuned, lots of cool stuff coming soon!

MassSpecGym: A benchmark for the discovery and identification of molecules
• MassSpecGym introduces a comprehensive benchmark and dataset for molecular discovery from mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data, addressing limitations of existing datasets in scope, standardization, and data leakage prevention.
• With 231,000 high-quality labeled MS/MS spectra representing 29,000 unique molecules, it is the largest open-access resource for MS/MS data, including three core challenges: de novo molecular structure generation, molecule retrieval, and spectrum simulation.
• The benchmark provides innovative splitting techniques to prevent data leakage and evaluates model performance in a generalization-demanding environment, setting a new standard for machine learning tasks in mass spectrometry.
• MassSpecGym offers three tasks to support different research goals: predicting molecular structures from MS/MS spectra, retrieving known molecules from spectral libraries, and simulating spectra for any given molecule.
• This tool is accessible through a user-friendly interface built on PyTorch Lightning and Hugging Face, promoting reproducibility and simplifying model evaluation and benchmarking within the broader machine learning community.
