Structured Multi-task Learning for Molecular Property Prediction

Liu, Shengchao, Qu, Meng, Zhang, Zuobai et al.

Understand

Multi-task learning for molecular property prediction is becoming increasingly important in drug discovery.

  • However, in contrast to other domains, the performance of multi-task learning in drug discovery is still not satisfying as the number of labeled data for each task is too limited, which calls for additional data to complement the data scarcity.
  • In this paper, we study multi-task learning for molecular property prediction in a novel setting, where a relation graph between tasks is available.
  • We first construct a dataset (ChEMBL-STRING) including around 400 tasks as well as a task relation graph.
