- 适合分子性质预测、药物发现领域的研究人员参考
分子性质预测是药物发现和材料科学的核心,亟需能够解耦复杂结构-性质关系的模型。现有方法常产生纠缠表征,混淆结构、化学与功能因素,影响可解释性与迁移能力。同时,传统方法未能充分挖掘图、序列、几何等多模态间的互补信息,多采用简单拼接,忽略模态间依赖。本文提出DMMRL,利用变分自编码器将分子表征解耦至共享(结构相关)与私有(模态特定)潜空间,提升可解释性与预测性能。所提变分解耦机制有效提取对性质预测最相关的特征,正交性与对齐正则化促进统计独立性与跨模态一致性。此外,门控注意力融合模块自适应整合共享表征,捕捉复杂的模态间关系。在7个基准数据集上的实验验证了DMMRL优于当前先进方法。代码与数据可在https://github.com/xulong0826/DMMRL 获取。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Molecular property prediction constitutes a cornerstone of drug discovery and materials science, necessitating models capable of disentangling complex structure-property relationships across diverse molecular modalities. Existing approaches frequently exhibit entangled representations--conflating structural, chemical, and functional factors--thereby limiting interpretability and transferability. Furthermore, conventional methods inadequately exploit complementary information from graphs, sequences, and geometries, often relying on naive concatenation that neglects inter-modal dependencies. In this work, we propose DMMRL, which employs variational autoencoders to disentangle molecular representations into shared (structure-relevant) and private (modality-specific) latent spaces, enhancing both interpretability and predictive performance. The proposed variational disentanglement mechanism effectively isolates the most informative features for property prediction, while orthogonality and alignment regularizations promote statistical independence and cross-modal consistency. Additionally, a gated attention fusion module adaptively integrates shared representations, capturing complex inter-modal relationships. Experimental validation across seven benchmark datasets demonstrates DMMRL's superior performance relative to state-of-the-art approaches.
