Assay2Mol: Large Language Model-based Drug Design Using BioAssay Context

EMNLP 2025

Scientific databases aggregate vast amounts of quantitative data alongside descriptive text. In biochemistry, chemical screening assays evaluate the functional responses of candidate compounds against disease targets. Unstructured text that describes the biological mechanisms through which these tar

Can We Steer Reasoning Direction by Thinking Intervention?

EMNLP 2025

Large Reason Models (LRMs) extend long reasoning process to solve complex tasks. However, due to the lack of fine-grained control, they often suffer from overthinking and erroneous reasoning problems, risking accuracy loss. To address this issue, we introduce Reasoning Direction Steering (RDS) to en

Summarizing Community-Based Question-Answer Pairs with Focus Rectification

ICASSP 2024accepted

Community-based Question Answering (CQA) summarization aims to generate a summary from a collection of QA pairs about a specific entity. Unlike well-structured texts such as dialogues, a set of QA pairs often contains significant redundancy, including repetitive questions and similar answers. The ab…

Structure-informed Language Models Are Protein Designers

ICML 2023oral

This paper demonstrates that language models are strong structure-based protein designers. We present LM-Design, a generic approach to reprogramming sequence-based protein language models (pLMs), that have learned massive sequential evolutionary knowledge from the universe of natural protein sequenc…
