A new research paper introduces a reliability-aware audit for molecular representations, moving beyond simple predictive accuracy. The study evaluates generic molecular encoders like MoLFormer and ChemBERTa against conventional methods using human olfaction datasets. Findings indicate that while human perceptual geometry is reproducible among participants, its alignment with model representations is significantly weaker. The research establishes empirical limits for current encoders and advocates for broader evaluation criteria that include target reliability, structural alignment, incremental information, replication, and out-of-distribution transfer.
