Researchers have developed ReCurveflow, a novel framework utilizing flow matching to predict transition state geometries in chemical reactions. Unlike previous methods that assumed linear reaction paths, ReCurveflow learns from curved trajectories interpolated from full NEB-derived bands of molecular geometries. The framework also incorporates an off-path correction mechanism to improve accuracy and resistance to exposure bias during inference. Evaluations across multiple datasets and metrics show ReCurveflow outperforming seven baseline methods, with qualitative analysis indicating its ability to generate accurate reaction trajectories and ease NEB optimization bottlenecks.
