Iterative Distillation for Reward-Guided Fine-Tuning of Diffusion Models in Biomolecular Design

ICLR 2026poster

We address the problem of fine-tuning diffusion models for reward-guided generation in biomolecular design. While diffusion models have proven highly effective in modeling complex, high-dimensional data distributions, real-world applications often demand more than high-fidelity generation, requiring…

Learning to Discover Regulatory Elements for Gene Expression Prediction

ICLR 2025oral

We consider the problem of predicting gene expressions from DNA sequences. A key challenge of this task is to find the regulatory elements that control gene expressions. Here, we introduce Seq2Exp, a Sequence to Expression network explicitly designed to discover and extract regulatory elements that…

Towards precision protein-ligand affinity prediction benchmark: A Complete and Modification-Aware DAVIS Dataset

NeurIPS 2025poster

Advancements in AI for science unlocks capabilities for critical drug discovery tasks such as protein-ligand binding affinity prediction. However, current models overfit to existing oversimplified datasets that does not represent naturally occurring and biologically relevant proteins with modificati…
