Multi-Objective Molecule Generation using Interpretable Substructures

Jin, Wengong, Barzilay, Regina, Jaakkola, Tommi

Understand

Drug discovery aims to find novel compounds with specified chemical property profiles.

  • In terms of generative modeling, the goal is to learn to sample molecules in the intersection of multiple property constraints.
  • This task becomes increasingly challenging when there are many property constraints.
  • We propose to offset this complexity by composing molecules from a vocabulary of substructures that we call molecular rationales.
