Summary
- What is new: This research introduces a novel latent prompt Transformer model designed specifically for tackling complex optimization problems in molecule design, showcasing improved performance over previous models.
- Why this is important: The challenge in designing molecules with optimal chemical or biological properties, where the properties need to be computed by existing software.
- What the research proposes: A three-component model consisting of a Unet-transformed latent vector, a molecule generation model using this vector as a prompt within a causal Transformer model, and a property prediction model for target properties based on non-linear regression on the latent vector.
- Results: The proposed model demonstrated superior performance across several benchmark molecule design tasks, indicating its effectiveness.
