Researchers have developed MR-MoL, a novel multi-granular rationale-guided molecular large language model designed to improve molecular property prediction for drug discovery. Unlike existing models that encode molecular information implicitly, MR-MoL directly provides evidence by scoring substructures and serializing influential ones as a ranked, direction-tagged rationale. This rationale, spanning multiple levels of granularity, is read by the LLM alongside the molecule's SMILES sequence and graph. MR-MoL has demonstrated superior performance on eight MoleculeNet tasks, outperforming generalist models and narrowing the gap with specialist models, with diagnostics confirming its effective use of the provided rationale.
