Researchers have developed MAELLE, a novel machine learning model for predicting chemical reactions by focusing on electron rearrangements rather than molecular topology. MAELLE models reactions as discrete flow matching over electron occupation vectors, generating mechanistically interpretable edit trajectories. The model demonstrates competitive performance on the USPTO-480K benchmark and shows robustness in out-of-distribution scenarios, even predicting side products. AI
