Deep learning has become ubiquitous in drug discovery, providing significant acceleration and cost reduction. As the most fundamental building block, molecular representation is essential for predicting molecular properties and activities to enable various downstream applications in drug discovery. While striving to incorporate diverse sources of information for comprehensive representation, current approaches can inadvertently introduce noise that impedes predictions, especially when labeled data are scarce. To address this, we propose a novel approach, MolTailor, which shifts the focus from incorporating more information to selectively optimizing representation by accentuating task-relevant features. Specifically, MolTailor builds upon understanding natural language descriptions of tasks, and tailors molecular representation by prioritizing the most pertinent features. Evaluations demonstrate MolTailor's superior performance over baselines, validating the efficacy of enhancing relevance for molecular representation learning. This illustrates the potential of language model guided optimization to better exploit and unleash the capabilities of existing informative molecular representation.

technical paper

We are pleased to announce the Thirty-Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-24), which will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia at the Vancouver Convention Centre – West Building from 20-27 February, 2024.

The purpose of the AAAI conference series is to promote research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers across the entirety of AI and its affiliated disciplines. AAAI-24 will feature technical paper presentations, special tracks, invited speakers, workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, senior member presentations, competitions, and exhibit programs, and a range of other activities to be announced.

We expect for AAAI-24 to be an in-person conference – one author of all accepted papers will be expected to present work in person unless there are exceptional circumstances that prevent this.<br><br><br><br>
