On the Design of One-step Diffusion via Shortcutting Flow Paths

ICLR 2026poster

Recent advances in few-step diffusion models have demonstrated their efficiency and effectiveness by shortcutting the probabilistic paths of diffusion models, especially in training one-step diffusion models from scratch (a.k.a. shortcut models). However, their theoretical derivation and practical i…

One step further with Monte-Carlo sampler to guide diffusion better

ICLR 2026poster

Stochastic differential equation (SDE)-based generative models have achieved substantial progress in conditional generation via training-free differentiable loss-guided approaches. However, existing methodologies utilizing posterior sam- pling typically confront a substantial estimation error, which…

Reframing Structure-Based Drug Design Model Evaluation via Metrics Correlated to Practical Needs

ICLR 2025poster

Recent advances in structure-based drug design (SBDD) have produced surprising results, with models often generating molecules that achieve better Vina docking scores than actual ligands. However, these results are frequently overly optimistic due to the limitations of docking score accuracy and the…

Rethinking Specificity in SBDD: Leveraging Delta Score and Energy-Guided Diffusion

ICML 2024poster

In the field of Structure-based Drug Design (SBDD), deep learning-based generative models have achieved outstanding performance in terms of docking score. However, further study shows that the existing molecular generative methods and docking scores both have lacked consideration in terms of specifi…

DrugCLIP: Contrastive Protein-Molecule Representation Learning for Virtual Screening

NeurIPS 2023poster

Virtual screening, which identifies potential drugs from vast compound databases to bind with a particular protein pocket, is a critical step in AI-assisted drug discovery. Traditional docking methods are highly time-consuming, and can only work with a restricted search library in real-life applicat…
