Edge conditioned dynamic neighborhood aggregation based molecular property prediction

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to system and method for molecular property prediction. The conventional methods for molecular property prediction suffer from inherent limitation to effectively encapsulate the characteristics of the molecular graph. Moreover, the known methods are computationally intensive, thereby leading to non-performance in real-time scenarios. The disclosed method overcomes the limitations of typical dynamic neighborhood aggregation (DNA) method by fusing the static edge attributes in determining the self-attention coefficients. In an embodiment, the disclosed method transforms the hidden state of a sink node by utilizing a neural-net function, which takes as input an aggregated single-message vector obtained by the self-attention mechanism and the self-attention mechanism transformed hidden state of the node.
