LeJEPA architecture adapted for molecular graph encoders

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have adapted LeJEPA, a self-supervised pretraining architecture, for molecular graph neural networks to assess its impact on molecular property prediction. While pretraining enhances learned representations, it does not consistently improve finetuning performance on tasks like predicting antibiotic activity or molecular property prediction (ogbg-molhiv). However, pretrained embeddings show a significant improvement over random initialization when used as a frozen probe, and combining these embeddings with traditional Morgan fingerprints yields the best performance on the ogbg-molhiv benchmark. AI

IMPACT This research explores methods to improve molecular property prediction using self-supervised learning, potentially advancing drug discovery and materials science.

    Self-Supervised Pretraining of Molecular Graph Encoders with LeJEPA

    arXiv:2609.04261v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-supervised pretraining has transformed language and vision, but its value for molecular graph neural networks remains contested. We ask whether pretraining on a large unlabelled corpus improves molecular property prediction. …
