Energy-based model generates physically consistent molecules

Researchers have developed EBMol, a novel energy-based model for generating physically consistent 3D molecules. This model learns an atom-additive potential without requiring explicit simulations during training, utilizing a Restoring Field Matching objective. EBMol achieves state-of-the-art performance on QM9 and GEOM-Drugs benchmarks and offers a principled quality metric for molecular configurations. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new method for generating physically consistent molecules, potentially advancing drug discovery and materials science.

    Generating Physically Consistent Molecules with Energy-Based Models

    Molecules in equilibrium follow a Boltzmann distribution, making the underlying energy landscape a physically grounded modeling objective. However, such landscapes are difficult to learn from data and, once learned, hard to sample from. Diffusion and flow-matching models sidestep…
