Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are fundamental to cellular function, disease mechanisms, and drug discovery. Current learning-based PPI predictors focus on learning powerful protein representations but neglect designing specialized classification heads. They mainly rely on generic aggregating m…
Autoregressive point cloud generation has long lagged behind diffusion-based approaches in quality. The performance gap stems from the fact that autoregressive models impose an artificial ordering on inherently unordered point sets, forcing shape generation to proceed as a sequence of local predicti
Multi-task learning (MTL) is a widely explored paradigm that enables the simultaneous learning of multiple tasks using a single model. Despite numerous solutions, the key issues of optimization conflict and task imbalance remain under-addressed, limiting performance. Unlike existing optimization-bas…
Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) is essential for adapting large foundation models without excessive storage cost. However, current approaches such as LoRA treat each layer’s adaptation independently, overlooking correlations across layers. This independence causes the number of trainable para…
Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are a groundbreaking technology for targeted protein degradation, but designing effective linkers that connect two molecular fragments to form a drug-candidate PROTAC molecule remains a key challenge. While diffusion models show promise in molecular generatio…
Nowadays deep models are required to be versatile due to the increasing realistic needs. Multi-task learning (MTL) offers an efficient way for this purpose to learn multiple tasks simultaneously with a single model. However, prior MTL solutions often focus on resolving conflicts and imbalances durin…
Inspired by the impressive capabilities of GPT-4o, there is growing interest in enabling speech language models (SLMs) to engage in natural, fluid spoken interactions with humans. Recent advancements have led to the development of several SLMs that demonstrate promising results in this area. However…
Text-based Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently gained significant attention, primarily for their capabilities in text-based interactions. However, natural human interaction often relies on speech, highlighting the need for voice-based models. In this context, Speech Language Models (SpeechLMs…
With the rising need for speech-based interaction models, end-to-end Spoken Language Models (SLMs) have emerged as a promising solution. While these models require comprehensive world knowledge for meaningful and reliable human interactions, existing question-answering (QA) benchmarks fall short in…
Many significant problems involving crystal property prediction from 3D structures have limited labeled data due to expensive and time-consuming physical simulations or lab experiments. To overcome this challenge, we propose a pretrain-finetune framework for the crystal property prediction task name…
SE(3) equivariance is a fundamental property that is highly desirable to maintain in physical dynamics modeling. This property ensures neural outputs to remain robust when the inputs are translated or rotated. Recently, there have been several proposals for SE(3) equivariant graph neural networks (G…
Reaction and retrosynthesis prediction are two fundamental tasks in computational chemistry. In recent years, these two tasks have attracted great attentions from both machine learning and drug discovery communities. Various deep learning approaches have been proposed to tackle these two problems an…
Organic reaction prediction is a critical task in drug discovery. Recently, researchers have achieved non-autoregressive reaction prediction by modeling the redistribution of electrons, resulting in state-of-the-art top-1 accuracy, and enabling parallel sampling. However, the current non-autoregress…
