Domain-adapted molecular language models boost discovery performance

A new research paper explores the effectiveness of pretrained molecular language models for molecular discovery tasks. The study found that while these models show significant variation in performance across different virtual libraries, explicit domain adaptation can substantially improve their representation quality and sample efficiency. By fine-tuning encoders on target virtual library structures, the models demonstrated enhanced utility for virtual screening and self-driving laboratories, establishing domain-adapted representations as a promising strategy for adaptive decision-making.
