用无限单体序列建模聚合物,融合拓扑与空间信息提升性能

MIPS: a Multimodal Infinite Polymer Sequence Pre-training Framework for Polymer Property Prediction

  • 将聚合物视为无限单体序列,改进消息传递与注意力机制以捕捉拓扑结构
  • 在8个任务上超越现有方法,最高提升12.3%性能,验证框架有效性
  • 适合材料设计、聚合物性质预测的研究者和工业应用开发者

聚合物由重复的单体结构单元组成,是日常生活与工业中的基础材料。准确预测其性质对设计与应用至关重要。然而,现有方法通常仅基于单体表示聚合物,难以捕捉聚合过程中的性质变化。本文提出多模态无限聚合物序列预训练框架MIPS,将聚合物表示为无限单体序列,并整合拓扑与空间信息进行综合建模。从拓扑角度,将消息传递机制(MPM)与图注意力机制(GAM)推广至无限序列,证明其等价于在单体诱导的星形连接图上应用;提出局部图注意力(LGA)替代全局注意力。通过重复与移位不变性测试(RSIT)验证了“星形连接”策略的鲁棒性,但发现其在含环状侧链的聚合物上不满足Weisfeiler-Lehman(WL)测试。为此,引入主链嵌入增强MPM与LGA在无限序列上的表达能力。从空间角度,提取重复单体的3D描述符以捕捉空间特征。最终设计跨模态融合机制统一两类信息。在8个不同聚合物性质预测任务上的实验表明,MIPS达到当前最优性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Polymers, composed of repeating structural units called monomers, are fundamental materials in daily life and industry. Accurate property prediction for polymers is essential for their design, development, and application. However, existing modeling approaches, which typically represent polymers by the constituent monomers, struggle to capture the whole properties of polymer, since the properties change during the polymerization process. In this study, we propose a Multimodal Infinite Polymer Sequence (MIPS) pre-training framework, which represents polymers as infinite sequences of monomers and integrates both topological and spatial information for comprehensive modeling. From the topological perspective, we generalize message passing mechanism (MPM) and graph attention mechanism (GAM) to infinite polymer sequences. For MPM, we demonstrate that applying MPM to infinite polymer sequences is equivalent to applying MPM on the induced star-linking graph of monomers. For GAM, we propose to further replace global graph attention with localized graph attention (LGA). Moreover, we show the robustness of the "star linking" strategy through Repeat and Shift Invariance Test (RSIT). Despite its robustness, "star linking" strategy exhibits limitations when monomer side chains contain ring structures, a common characteristic of polymers, as it fails the Weisfeiler-Lehman~(WL) test. To overcome this issue, we propose backbone embedding to enhance the capability of MPM and LGA on infinite polymer sequences. From the spatial perspective, we extract 3D descriptors of repeating monomers to capture spatial information. Finally, we design a cross-modal fusion mechanism to unify the topological and spatial information. Experimental validation across eight diverse polymer property prediction tasks reveals that MIPS achieves state-of-the-art performance.
