Multi-step retrosynthesis planning is a fundamental challenge in organic chemistry, defined by its enormous search space. Existing methods typically formulate it as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) with a fixed choice of transition model (i.e., a single-step retrosynthesis model), and focus on improv…
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has opened new opportunities for AI-driven chemical problem solving. However, existing chemical LLMs are typically tailored to specific task formats or narrow domains, limiting their capacity to integrate knowledge and generalize across tasks. Model merg…
Retrosynthetic planning is a sequential decision-making process of identifying synthetic routes from the available building block materials to reach a desired target molecule. Though existing planning approaches show promisingly high solving rates and low costs, the trivial route cost evaluation via…
Machine learning-assisted retrosynthesis prediction models have been gaining widespread adoption, though their performances oftentimes degrade significantly when deployed in real-world applications embracing out-of-distribution (OOD) molecules or reactions. Despite steady progress on standard benchm…
Meta-learning has emerged as a potent paradigm for quick learning of few-shot tasks, by leveraging the meta-knowledge learned from meta-training tasks. Well-generalized meta-knowledge that facilitates fast adaptation in each task is preferred; however, recent evidence suggests the undesirable memori…
