We just preprinted a fresh study on molecular machine learning on OOD molecules 🧠

Using joint modeling, we could detect distribution shifts, estimate prediction reliability, and capture meaningful molecular patterns!

If you use generative #DeepLearning for molecule design, check out our latest work, where we perform a large scale analysis (~1 B designs!) and find ‘traps’, ‘treasures’ and ‘ways out’ in the jungle of generative drug discovery.

Fresh off the presses:

TL;DR: Yes, GZIP can perform better than baseline GNNs and MLPs. It can ..
