Molecular representation learning can preserve meaningful molecular structures as embedding vectors, which is a necessary prerequisite for molecular property prediction. Yet, learning how to accurately represent molecules remains challenging. Previous approaches to learning molecular representations in an end-to-end manner potentially suffered information loss while neglecting the utilization of molecular generative representations.

In recent years, the exponential growth of compound activity and biomedical data has highlighted the need for efficient and interpretable prediction approaches. In this study, we propose GraphsformerCPI, an end-to-end deep learning framework that improves prediction performance and interpretability.

We conducted a knowledge, attitude, and practice survey on 250 respondents in five university canteens at China Agricultural University, Beijing, China. Using on-site tools including a newly developed Likert scale and the previously tested Oil-Salt Visual Analogue Scale (OS-VAS), the respondents were asked to evaluate their personal taste, their impression of the oil/salt status of canteen dishes, and their attitude toward oil/salt reduction.

We conjecture that all the characters in the SMILES string of a molecule are essential for making up the molecules, but most of them make little contribution to determining a particular property of the molecule. Therefore, we verified the conjecture in the pre-experiment.

Most deep learning-based computational methods either develop unique chemical representation or combine complex model. However, researchers are less concerned with the possible advantages of enormous quantities of unlabeled molecular data.
