A Periodic Bayesian Flow for Material Generation

ICLR 2025spotlight

Generative modeling of crystal data distribution is an important yet challenging task due to the unique periodic physical symmetry of crystals. Diffusion-based methods have shown early promise in modeling crystal distribution. More recently, Bayesian Flow Networks were introduced to aggregate noisy…

Empower Structure-Based Molecule Optimization with Gradient Guided Bayesian Flow Networks

ICML 2025poster

Structure-based molecule optimization (SBMO) aims to optimize molecules with both continuous coordinates and discrete types against protein targets. A promising direction is to exert gradient guidance on generative models given its remarkable success in images, but it is challenging to guide discret…

Steering Protein Family Design through Profile Bayesian Flow

ICLR 2025oral

Protein family design emerges as a promising alternative by combining the advantages of de novo protein design and mutation-based directed evolution.In this paper, we propose ProfileBFN, the Profile Bayesian Flow Networks, for specifically generative modeling of protein families. ProfileBFN extends…

Equivariant Flow Matching with Hybrid Probability Transport for 3D Molecule Generation

NeurIPS 2023poster

The generation of 3D molecules requires simultaneously deciding the categorical features (atom types) and continuous features (atom coordinates). Deep generative models, especially Diffusion Models (DMs), have demonstrated effectiveness in generating feature-rich geometries. However, existing DMs ty…
