Summary

• What is new: The novel application of small pretrained foundational generative language models for sequence-based tasks, specifically in cheminformatics, using instruction fine-tuning.
• Why this is important: The high computational costs, expertise required, and time needed to train neural networks and language models from scratch for specific tasks.
• What the research proposes: Using smaller, pretrained generative language models and fine-tuning them with instructions using a smaller set of examples to efficiently achieve high performance on specific tasks.
• Results: Demonstrated near state-of-the-art results on cheminformatics tasks using models with 125M, 350M, and 1.3B parameters, highlighting the effectiveness of instruction fine-tuning and the impact of model selection and data formatting.
