Hierarchical Graph-to-Graph Translation for Molecules

Our paper is at https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11223

Installation

First install the dependencies via conda:

• PyTorch >= 1.0.0
• networkx
• RDKit
• numpy
• Python >= 3.6

And then run pip install .

Data Format

• The training file should contain pairs of molecules (molA, molB) that are similar to each other but molB has better chemical properties. Please see data/qed/train_pairs.txt.
• The test file is a list of molecules to be optimized. Please see data/qed/test.txt.

Sample training procedure

1. Extract substructure vocabulary from a given set of molecules:

python get_vocab.py < data/qed/mols.txt > vocab.txt

Please replace data/qed/mols.txt with your molecules data file.

2. Preprocess training data:

python preprocess.py --train data/qed/train_pairs.txt --vocab data/qed/vocab.txt --ncpu 16 < data/qed/train_pairs.txt
mkdir train_processed
mv tensor* train_processed/

Please replace --train and --vocab with training and vocab file.

3. Train the model:

mkdir models/
python gnn_train.py --train train_processed/ --vocab data/qed/vocab.txt --save_dir models/
