Model agnostic generation of counterfactual explanations for molecules.

An outstanding challenge in deep learning in chemistry is its lack of interpretability. The inability of explaining why a neural network makes a prediction is a major barrier to deployment of AI models. This not only dissuades chemists from using deep learning predictions, but also has led to neural networks learning spurious correlations that are difficult to notice.

Predicting chemical shifts with graph neural networks.

Inferring molecular structure from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measurements requires an accurate forward model that can predict chemical shifts from 3D structure. Current forward models are limited to specific molecules like proteins and state-of-the-art models are not differentiable. Thus they cannot be used with gradient methods like biased molecular dynamics.
