Abstract
Molecular design depends heavily on optical properties for applications such as solar cells and polymer-based batteries. Accurate prediction of these properties is essential, and multiple predictive methods exist, from ab initio to data-driven techniques. Although theoretical methods, such as time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations, have well-established physical relevance and are among the most popular methods in computational physics and chemistry, they exhibit errors that are inherent in their approximate nature. These high-throughput electronic structure calculations also incur a substantial computational cost. With the emergence of big-data initiatives, cost-effective, data-driven methods have gained traction, although their usability is highly contingent on the degree of data quality and sparsity. In this study, we present a workflow that employs deep residual convolutional neural networks (DR-CNN) and gradient boosting feature selection to predict peak optical absorption wavelengths (λmax) exclusively from SMILES representations of dye molecules and solvents; one would normally measure λmax using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. We use a multifidelity modeling approach, integrating 34,893 DFT calculations and 26,395 experimentally derived λmax data, to deliver more accurate predictions via a Bayesian-optimized gradient boosting machine. Our approach is benchmarked against the state of the art that is reported in the scientific literature; results demonstrate that learnt representations via a DR-CNN workflow that is integrated with other machine learning methods can accelerate the design of molecules for specific optical characteristics.

Abstract
Deep learning has become a powerful and frequently employed tool for the prediction of molecular properties, thus creating a need for open-source and versatile software solutions that can be operated by nonexperts. Among the current approaches, directed message-passing neural networks (D-MPNNs) have proven to perform well on a variety of property prediction tasks. The software package Chemprop implements the D-MPNN architecture and offers simple, easy, and fast access to machine-learned molecular properties. Compared to its initial version, we present a multitude of new Chemprop functionalities such as the support of multimolecule properties, reactions, atom/bond-level properties, and spectra. Further, we incorporate various uncertainty quantification and calibration methods along with related metrics as well as pretraining and transfer learning workflows, improved hyperparameter optimization, and other customization options concerning loss functions or atom/bond features. We benchmark D-MPNN models trained using Chemprop with the new reaction, atom-level, and spectra functionality on a variety of property prediction data sets, including MoleculeNet and SAMPL, and observe state-of-the-art performance on the prediction of water-octanol partition coefficients, reaction barrier heights, atomic partial charges, and absorption spectra. Chemprop enables out-of-the-box training of D-MPNN models for a variety of problem settings in fast, user-friendly, and open-source software.

Abstract
A closed-loop, autonomous molecular discovery platform driven by integrated machine learning tools was developed to accelerate the design of molecules with desired properties. We demonstrated two case studies on dye-like molecules, targeting absorption wavelength, lipophilicity, and photooxidative stability. In the first study, the platform experimentally realized 294 unreported molecules across three automatic iterations of molecular design-make-test-analyze cycles while exploring the structure-function space of four rarely reported scaffolds. In each iteration, the property prediction models that guided exploration learned the structure-property space of diverse scaffold derivatives, which were realized with multistep syntheses and a variety of reactions. The second study exploited property models trained on the explored chemical space and previously reported molecules to discover nine top-performing molecules within a lightly explored structure-property space.

Abstract
With the increasingly more important role of machine learning (ML) models in chemical research, the need for putting a level of confidence to the model predictions naturally arises. Several methods for obtaining uncertainty estimates have been proposed in recent years but consensus on the evaluation of these have yet to be established and different studies on uncertainties generally uses different metrics to evaluate them. We compare three of the most popular validation metrics (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, the negative log likelihood (NLL) and the miscalibration area) to the error-based calibration introduced by Levi et al. (Sensors 2022, 22, 5540). Importantly, metrics such as the negative log likelihood (NLL) and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient bear little information in themselves. We therefore introduce reference values obtained through errors simulated directly from the uncertainty distribution. The different metrics target different properties and we show how to interpret them, but we generally find the best overall validation to be done based on the error-based calibration plot introduced by Levi et al. Finally, we illustrate the sensitivity of ranking-based methods (e.g. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient) towards test set design by using the same toy model ferent test sets and obtaining vastly different metrics (0.05 vs. 0.65).

Abstract
Light-activated drugs are a promising way to localize biological activity and minimize side effects. However, their development is complicated by the numerous photophysical and biological properties that must be simultaneously optimized. To accelerate the design of photoactive drugs, we describe a procedure that combines ligand-protein docking with chemical property prediction based on machine learning (ML). We apply this procedure to 58 proteins and 9000 photo-drug candidates based on azobenzene cis-trans isomerism. We find that most proteins display a preference for trans isomers over cis and that the binding affinities of nominally active/inactive pairs are in fact highly correlated. These findings have significant value for photopharmacology research, and reinforce the need for virtual screening to identify compounds with rare desirable properties. Further, we combine our procedure with quantum chemical validation to identify promising candidates for the photoactive inhibition of PARP1, an enzyme that is over-expressed in cancer cells. The top compounds are predicted to have long-lived active forms, differential bioactivity, and absorption in the near-infrared therapeutic window.

Abstract
Knowledge of critical properties, such as critical temperature, pressure, density, as well as acentric factor, is essential to calculate thermo-physical properties of chemical compounds. Experiments to determine critical properties and acentric factors are expensive and time intensive; therefore, we developed a machine learning (ML) model that can predict these molecular properties given the SMILES representation of a chemical species. We explored directed message passing neural network (D-MPNN) and graph attention network as ML architecture choices. Additionally, we investigated featurization with additional atomic and molecular features, multitask training, and pretraining using estimated data to optimize model performance. Our final model utilizes a D-MPNN layer to learn the molecular representation and is supplemented by Abraham parameters. A multitask training scheme was used to train a single model to predict all the critical properties and acentric factors along with boiling point, melting point, enthalpy of vaporization, and enthalpy of fusion. The model was evaluated on both random and scaffold splits where it shows state-of-the-art accuracies. The extensive data set of critical properties and acentric factors contains 1144 chemical compounds and is made available in the public domain together with the source code that can be used for further exploration.

Abstract
Organic solar cells (OSCs) have emerged as a promising technology for renewable energy generation, and researchers are constantly exploring ways to improve their efficiency. For prediction of photovoltaic properties in OSCs, many machine learning models have been used in the past. All the models are used with fixed molecular descriptors and molecular fingerprints as input for power conversion efficiency (PCE) prediction. Recently, the graph neural network (GNN), which can model graph structures of the molecule, has received increasing attention as a method that could potentially overcome the limitations of fixed descriptors by learning the task-specific representations using graph convolutions. In this study, we have used the directed message passing neural network (D-MPNN), an emerging type of GNN for predicting PCE of organic solar cells, and the results are compared for the same train and test set with fixed descriptors and fingerprints. The excellent performance demonstrated by the D-MPNN model in this investigation highlights its potential for predicting PCE, surpassing the limitations of conventional fixed descriptors.

Abstract
An assessment of modifying the SchNET model for the predictions of experimental molecular photophysical properties, including absorption energy (ΔEabs), emission energy (ΔEemi), and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), was reported. The solution environment was properly introduced outside the interaction layers of SchNET for not overly amplifying the solute-solvent interactions, particularly being supported by the changes of prediction errors between the presence and absence of the solvent effect. Two featurization schemes under the framework of the Schnet-bondstep approach, with featuring the concepts of reduced-atomic-number and reduced-atomic-neighbor, were demonstrated. These featurized models can consequently provide fine predictions for ΔEabs and ΔEemi with errors less than 0.1 eV. The corresponding predictions of PLQY were shown to be comparable to the previous graph convolution network model.

Abstract
Accurate understanding of ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectra is critical for the high-throughput synthesis of compounds for drug discovery. Experimentally determining UV-vis spectra can become expensive when dealing with a large quantity of novel compounds. This provides us an opportunity to drive computational advances in molecular property predictions using quantum mechanics and machine learning methods. In this work, we use both quantum mechanically (QM) predicted and experimentally measured UV-vis spectra as input to devise four different machine learning architectures, UVvis-SchNet, UVvis-DTNN, UVvis-Transformer, and UVvis-MPNN, and assess the performance of each method. We find that the UVvis-MPNN model outperforms the other models when using optimized 3D coordinates and QM predicted spectra as input features. This model has the highest performance for predicting UV-vis spectra with a training RMSE of 0.06 and validation RMSE of 0.08. Most importantly, our model can be used for the challenging task of predicting differences in the UV-vis spectral signatures of regioisomers.

Abstract
Cannabinoid receptors, as part of the family of the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), are involved in various physiological functions. Its subtype cannabinoid receptor subtype 2 (CB2), mainly distributed in the periphery, is a crucial therapeutic target for anti-epileptic, anti-inflammation, anti-fibrosis, and bone metabolism regulation, and it regulates these physiological functions without psychiatric side effects. Recently machine learning methods for predicting biophysics properties have attracted much attention. Successful application of machine learning usually highly depends on the appropriate representation of the compounds. In this study, we comprehensively evaluate the performance of the descriptor-based models (including XGBoost, Random Forest, and KNN) and two graph-based models (D-MPNN, MolMap) for the prediction of the CB2 regulators, and found that XGBoost offers outstanding performance for both regression tasks and classification tasks. 13 different molecular fingerprints and 12 descriptors, as well as their combination were further screened; AvalonFP + AtomPairFP + RDkitFP + MorganFP and AtomPairFP + MorganFP + AvalonFP were the optimum combinations for regression task (R2 increase to 0.667) and classification task (AUC-ROC increase to 0.933), respectively. Specifically, the best XGBoost regression model with optimum features achieves better performance than Mizera's QSAR model on the same dataset developed by Mizera (R2 0.664 versus 0.62). It also achieves optimal performance with an AUC-ROC of 0.917 on the external validation set. By comparison, MolMap and D-MPNN only provide 0.912 and 0.898. The Shapley additive explanation method was used to interpret the models, and features importance were shown for both regression and classification task. The XGBoost model equipped with essential molecular fingerprints combination in this paper may provide valuable clues to designing novel CB2 ligands and developing models for other properties prediction.

Abstract
Quantitative estimates of reaction barriers are essential for developing kinetic mechanisms and predicting reaction outcomes. However, the lack of experimental data and the steep scaling of accurate quantum calculations often hinder the ability to obtain reliable kinetic values. Here, we train a directed message passing neural network on nearly 24,000 diverse gas-phase reactions calculated at CCSD(T)-F12a/cc-pVDZ-F12//ωB97X-D3/def2-TZVP. Our model uses 75% fewer parameters than previous studies, an improved reaction representation, and proper data splits to accurately estimate performance on unseen reactions. Using information from only the reactant and product, our model quickly predicts barrier heights with a testing MAE of 2.6 kcal mol-1 relative to the coupled-cluster data, making it more accurate than a good density functional theory calculation. Furthermore, our results show that future modeling efforts to estimate reaction properties would significantly benefit from fine-tuning calibration using a transfer learning technique. We anticipate this model will accelerate and improve kinetic predictions for small molecule chemistry.
