Most machine learning models for molecular property prediction rely on a single molecular representation (either a sequence, a graph, or a 3D structure) and treat molecular geometry as static. We present MolFM-Lite, a multi-modal model that…

Molecular graphs generally contain subgraphs (known as groups) that are identifiable and significant in composition, functionality, geometry, etc. Flat latent representations (node embeddings or graph embeddings) fail to represent, and…
