OXtal: An All-Atom Diffusion Model for Organic Crystal Structure Prediction

ICLR 2026poster

Accurately predicting experimentally-realizable $3\textrm{D}$ molecular crystal structures from their $2\textrm{D}$ chemical graphs is a long-standing open challenge in computational chemistry called $\textit{crystal structure prediction}$ (CSP). Efficiently solving this problem has implications ran…

Incremental Sequence Classification with Temporal Consistency

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

We address the problem of incremental sequence classification, where predictions are updated as new elements in the sequence are revealed. Drawing on temporal-difference learning from reinforcement learning, we identify a temporal-consistency condition that successive predictions should satisfy. We…

SE(3)-Stochastic Flow Matching for Protein Backbone Generation

ICLR 2024spotlight

The computational design of novel protein structures has the potential to impact numerous scientific disciplines greatly. Toward this goal, we introduce \foldflow, a series of novel generative models of increasing modeling power based on the flow-matching paradigm over $3\mathrm{D}$ rigid motions---…

Learning GFlowNets From Partial Episodes For Improved Convergence And Stability

ICML 2023oral

Generative flow networks (GFlowNets) are a family of algorithms for training a sequential sampler of discrete objects under an unnormalized target density and have been successfully used for various probabilistic modeling tasks. Existing training objectives for GFlowNets are either local to states o…
