Exploring Discrete Flow Matching for 3D De Novo Molecule Generation
Exploring Discrete Flow Matching for 3D De Novo Molecule Generation

Ian Dunn, David Ryan Koes

NeurIPS 2024 Workshop on Machine Learning for Sturctural Biology November 2024

In this work we benchmark the performance of existing discrete flow matching methods for 3D de novo small molecule generation and provide explanations of their differing behavior. As a result we present FlowMol-CTMC, an open-source model that achieves state of the art performance for 3D de novo design with fewer learnable parameters than existing methods. Additionally, we propose the use of metrics that capture molecule quality beyond local chemical valency constraints and towards higher-order structural motifs.

Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling December 2024

We describe our winning submission to the first Critical Assessment of Computational Hit-Finding Experiments (CACHE) challenge. Our screening campaign was largely built around gnina, an open-source molecular docking program developed by the Koes lab that uses a deep-learning based scoring function. Our resulting best hit series tied for first place when evaluated by a panel of expert judges.

Preprint April 2024

We develop FlowMol: the first flow matching model that samples the geometric and topological structure of organic molecules. We also develop a method for flow matching on discrete data that we call SimplexFlow.

NeurIPS 2024 Workshop on Generative AI for Biology October 2023 Spotlight

We present a novel method for learning compressed geometric representations of protein structure and use this novel protein encoder to accelerate inference in diffusion models.
