用主动学习提升分子生成,精准设计高吸光性π功能材料。

Generating $π$-Functional Molecules Using STGG+ with Active Learning

  • 将STGG+与主动学习结合,迭代生成、评估并优化模型。
  • 成功生成高振子强度分子,近红外区域吸光性能优异。
  • 适合需要突破现有化学空间的药物与光电材料研发人员。

生成具有分布外特性的新分子是分子发现中的重大挑战。监督学习方法虽能生成高质量分子,但难以泛化到分布外属性;强化学习可探索新化学空间,却常出现奖励欺骗并生成不可合成分子。本文通过将先进的监督学习方法STGG+嵌入主动学习循环中,实现分子的迭代生成、评估与模型微调,提出STGG+AL方法。该方法应用于有机π-功能材料设计,重点解决两类难题:1)生成高振子强度的强吸光分子;2)在近红外(NIR)波段设计具备合理振子强度的吸光分子。生成分子通过含时密度泛函理论(time-dependent DFT)进行虚拟验证与机理分析。结果表明,该方法在生成高振子强度分子方面显著优于现有强化学习等方法。我们开源了主动学习代码,并提供包含290万条π共轭分子的Conjugated-xTB数据集,以及基于sTDA-xTB的振子强度与吸收波长估算工具。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Generating novel molecules with out-of-distribution properties is a major challenge in molecular discovery. While supervised learning methods generate high-quality molecules similar to those in a dataset, they struggle to generalize to out-of-distribution properties. Reinforcement learning can explore new chemical spaces but often conducts 'reward-hacking' and generates non-synthesizable molecules. In this work, we address this problem by integrating a state-of-the-art supervised learning method, STGG+, in an active learning loop. Our approach iteratively generates, evaluates, and fine-tunes STGG+ to continuously expand its knowledge. We denote this approach STGG+AL. We apply STGG+AL to the design of organic $π$-functional materials, specifically two challenging tasks: 1) generating highly absorptive molecules characterized by high oscillator strength and 2) designing absorptive molecules with reasonable oscillator strength in the near-infrared (NIR) range. The generated molecules are validated and rationalized in-silico with time-dependent density functional theory. Our results demonstrate that our method is highly effective in generating novel molecules with high oscillator strength, contrary to existing methods such as reinforcement learning (RL) methods. We open-source our active-learning code along with our Conjugated-xTB dataset containing 2.9 million $π$-conjugated molecules and the function for approximating the oscillator strength and absorption wavelength (based on sTDA-xTB).
