Evidential meta-model for molecular property prediction.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

The usefulness of supervised molecular property prediction (MPP) is well-recognized in many applications. However, the insufficiency and the imbalance of labeled data make the learning problem difficult. Moreover, the reliability of the predictions is also a huddle in the deployment of MPP models in safety-critical fields.

Results

We propose the Evidential Meta-model for Molecular Property Prediction (EM3P2) method that returns uncertainty estimates along with its predictions. Our EM3P2 trains an evidential graph isomorphism network classifier using multi-task molecular property datasets under the model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) framework while addressing the problem of data imbalance.Our results showed better prediction performances compared to existing meta-MPP models. Furthermore, we showed that the uncertainty estimates returned by our EM3P2 can be used to reject uncertain predictions for applications that require higher confidence.

Evidential Deep Learning for Guided Molecular Property Prediction and Discovery.

Project description:While neural networks achieve state-of-the-art performance for many molecular modeling and structure-property prediction tasks, these models can struggle with generalization to out-of-domain examples, exhibit poor sample efficiency, and produce uncalibrated predictions. In this paper, we leverage advances in evidential deep learning to demonstrate a new approach to uncertainty quantification for neural network-based molecular structure-property prediction at no additional computational cost. We develop both evidential 2D message passing neural networks and evidential 3D atomistic neural networks and apply these networks across a range of different tasks. We demonstrate that evidential uncertainties enable (1) calibrated predictions where uncertainty correlates with error, (2) sample-efficient training through uncertainty-guided active learning, and (3) improved experimental validation rates in a retrospective virtual screening campaign. Our results suggest that evidential deep learning can provide an efficient means of uncertainty quantification useful for molecular property prediction, discovery, and design tasks in the chemical and physical sciences.

Pharmacophoric-constrained heterogeneous graph transformer model for molecular property prediction.

Project description:Informative representation of molecules is a crucial prerequisite in AI-driven drug design and discovery. Pharmacophore information including functional groups and chemical reactions can indicate molecular properties, which have not been fully exploited by prior atom-based molecular graph representation. To obtain a more informative representation of molecules for better molecule property prediction, we propose the Pharmacophoric-constrained Heterogeneous Graph Transformer (PharmHGT). We design a pharmacophoric-constrained multi-views molecular representation graph, enabling PharmHGT to extract vital chemical information from functional substructures and chemical reactions. With a carefully designed pharmacophoric-constrained multi-view molecular representation graph, PharmHGT can learn more chemical information from molecular functional substructures and chemical reaction information. Extensive downstream experiments prove that PharmHGT achieves remarkably superior performance over the state-of-the-art models the performance of our model is up to 1.55% in ROC-AUC and 0.272 in RMSE higher than the best baseline model) on molecular properties prediction. The ablation study and case study show that our proposed molecular graph representation method and heterogeneous graph transformer model can better capture the pharmacophoric structure and chemical information features. Further visualization studies also indicated a better representation capacity achieved by our model.

PotentialNet for Molecular Property Prediction.

Project description:The arc of drug discovery entails a multiparameter optimization problem spanning vast length scales. The key parameters range from solubility (angstroms) to protein-ligand binding (nanometers) to in vivo toxicity (meters). Through feature learning-instead of feature engineering-deep neural networks promise to outperform both traditional physics-based and knowledge-based machine learning models for predicting molecular properties pertinent to drug discovery. To this end, we present the PotentialNet family of graph convolutions. These models are specifically designed for and achieve state-of-the-art performance for protein-ligand binding affinity. We further validate these deep neural networks by setting new standards of performance in several ligand-based tasks. In parallel, we introduce a new metric, the Regression Enrichment Factor EFχ (R), to measure the early enrichment of computational models for chemical data. Finally, we introduce a cross-validation strategy based on structural homology clustering that can more accurately measure model generalizability, which crucially distinguishes the aims of machine learning for drug discovery from standard machine learning tasks.

Assigning confidence to molecular property prediction.

Project description:Introduction: Computational modeling has rapidly advanced over the last decades. Recently, machine learning has emerged as a powerful and cost-effective strategy to learn from existing datasets and perform predictions on unseen molecules. Accordingly, the explosive rise of data-driven techniques raises an important question: What confidence can be assigned to molecular property predictions and what techniques can be used?Areas covered: The authors discuss popular strategies for predicting molecular properties, their corresponding uncertainty sources and methods to quantify uncertainty. First, the authors' considerations for assessing confidence begin with dataset bias and size, data-driven property prediction and feature design. Next, the authors discuss property simulation via computations of binding affinity in detail. Lastly, they investigate how these uncertainties propagate to generative models, as they are usually coupled with property predictors.Expert opinion: Computational techniques are paramount to reduce the prohibitive cost of brute-force experimentation during exploration. The authors believe that assessing uncertainty in property prediction models is essential whenever closed-loop drug design campaigns relying on high-throughput virtual screening are deployed. Accordingly, considering sources of uncertainty leads to better-informed validations, more reliable predictions and more realistic expectations of the entire workflow. Overall, this increases confidence in the predictions and, ultimately, accelerates drug design.

FraGAT: a fragment-oriented multi-scale graph attention model for molecular property prediction.

Project description:Molecular property prediction is a hot topic in recent years. Existing graph-based models ignore the hierarchical structures of molecules. According to the knowledge of chemistry and pharmacy, the functional groups of molecules are closely related to its physio-chemical properties and binding affinities. So, it should be helpful to represent molecular graphs by fragments that contain functional groups for molecular property prediction. In this paper, to boost the performance of molecule property prediction, we first propose a definition of molecule graph fragments that may be or contain functional groups, which are relevant to molecular properties, then develop a fragment-oriented multi-scale graph attention network for molecular property prediction, which is called FraGAT. Experiments on several widely-used benchmarks are conducted to evaluate FraGAT. Experimental results show that FraGAT achieves state-of-the-art predictive performance in most cases. Furthermore, our case studies showthat when the fragments used to represent the molecule graphs contain functional groups, the model can make better predictions. This conforms to our expectation and demonstrates the interpretability of the proposed model. The code and data underlying this work are available in GitHub, at https://github.com/ZiqiaoZhang/FraGAT. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Analyzing Learned Molecular Representations for Property Prediction.

Project description:Advancements in neural machinery have led to a wide range of algorithmic solutions for molecular property prediction. Two classes of models in particular have yielded promising results: neural networks applied to computed molecular fingerprints or expert-crafted descriptors and graph convolutional neural networks that construct a learned molecular representation by operating on the graph structure of the molecule. However, recent literature has yet to clearly determine which of these two methods is superior when generalizing to new chemical space. Furthermore, prior research has rarely examined these new models in industry research settings in comparison to existing employed models. In this paper, we benchmark models extensively on 19 public and 16 proprietary industrial data sets spanning a wide variety of chemical end points. In addition, we introduce a graph convolutional model that consistently matches or outperforms models using fixed molecular descriptors as well as previous graph neural architectures on both public and proprietary data sets. Our empirical findings indicate that while approaches based on these representations have yet to reach the level of experimental reproducibility, our proposed model nevertheless offers significant improvements over models currently used in industrial workflows.

Molecular property prediction by semantic-invariant contrastive learning.

Project description:MotivationContrastive learning has been widely used as pretext tasks for self-supervised pre-trained molecular representation learning models in AI-aided drug design and discovery. However, existing methods that generate molecular views by noise-adding operations for contrastive learning may face the semantic inconsistency problem, which leads to false positive pairs and consequently poor prediction performance.ResultsTo address this problem, in this article, we first propose a semantic-invariant view generation method by properly breaking molecular graphs into fragment pairs. Then, we develop a Fragment-based Semantic-Invariant Contrastive Learning (FraSICL) model based on this view generation method for molecular property prediction. The FraSICL model consists of two branches to generate representations of views for contrastive learning, meanwhile a multi-view fusion and an auxiliary similarity loss are introduced to make better use of the information contained in different fragment-pair views. Extensive experiments on various benchmark datasets show that with the least number of pre-training samples, FraSICL can achieve state-of-the-art performance, compared with major existing counterpart models.Availability and implementationThe code is publicly available at https://github.com/ZiqiaoZhang/FraSICL.

3D graph contrastive learning for molecular property prediction.

Project description:MotivationSelf-supervised learning (SSL) is a method that learns the data representation by utilizing supervision inherent in the data. This learning method is in the spotlight in the drug field, lacking annotated data due to time-consuming and expensive experiments. SSL using enormous unlabeled data has shown excellent performance for molecular property prediction, but a few issues exist. (i) Existing SSL models are large-scale; there is a limitation to implementing SSL where the computing resource is insufficient. (ii) In most cases, they do not utilize 3D structural information for molecular representation learning. The activity of a drug is closely related to the structure of the drug molecule. Nevertheless, most current models do not use 3D information or use it partially. (iii) Previous models that apply contrastive learning to molecules use the augmentation of permuting atoms and bonds. Therefore, molecules having different characteristics can be in the same positive samples. We propose a novel contrastive learning framework, small-scale 3D Graph Contrastive Learning (3DGCL) for molecular property prediction, to solve the above problems.Results3DGCL learns the molecular representation by reflecting the molecule's structure through the pretraining process that does not change the semantics of the drug. Using only 1128 samples for pretrain data and 0.5 million model parameters, we achieved state-of-the-art or comparable performance in six benchmark datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate that 3D structural information based on chemical knowledge is essential to molecular representation learning for property prediction.Availability and implementationData and codes are available in https://github.com/moonkisung/3DGCL.

GEOM, energy-annotated molecular conformations for property prediction and molecular generation.

Project description:Machine learning (ML) outperforms traditional approaches in many molecular design tasks. ML models usually predict molecular properties from a 2D chemical graph or a single 3D structure, but neither of these representations accounts for the ensemble of 3D conformers that are accessible to a molecule. Property prediction could be improved by using conformer ensembles as input, but there is no large-scale dataset that contains graphs annotated with accurate conformers and experimental data. Here we use advanced sampling and semi-empirical density functional theory (DFT) to generate 37 million molecular conformations for over 450,000 molecules. The Geometric Ensemble Of Molecules (GEOM) dataset contains conformers for 133,000 species from QM9, and 317,000 species with experimental data related to biophysics, physiology, and physical chemistry. Ensembles of 1,511 species with BACE-1 inhibition data are also labeled with high-quality DFT free energies in an implicit water solvent, and 534 ensembles are further optimized with DFT. GEOM will assist in the development of models that predict properties from conformer ensembles, and generative models that sample 3D conformations.

Hierarchical Molecular Graph Self-Supervised Learning for property prediction.

Project description:Molecular graph representation learning has shown considerable strength in molecular analysis and drug discovery. Due to the difficulty of obtaining molecular property labels, pre-training models based on self-supervised learning has become increasingly popular in molecular representation learning. Notably, Graph Neural Networks (GNN) are employed as the backbones to encode implicit representations of molecules in most existing works. However, vanilla GNN encoders ignore chemical structural information and functions implied in molecular motifs, and obtaining the graph-level representation via the READOUT function hinders the interaction of graph and node representations. In this paper, we propose Hierarchical Molecular Graph Self-supervised Learning (HiMol), which introduces a pre-training framework to learn molecule representation for property prediction. First, we present a Hierarchical Molecular Graph Neural Network (HMGNN), which encodes motif structure and extracts node-motif-graph hierarchical molecular representations. Then, we introduce Multi-level Self-supervised Pre-training (MSP), in which corresponding multi-level generative and predictive tasks are designed as self-supervised signals of HiMol model. Finally, superior molecular property prediction results on both classification and regression tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of HiMol. Moreover, the visualization performance in the downstream dataset shows that the molecule representations learned by HiMol can capture chemical semantic information and properties.
