Unconditional Molecule Generation

6 papers with code · 2 benchmarks · 2 datasets archive 2025-07-28

Miscellaneous

This task evaluates the ability of generative models to sample valid and realistic molecular structures.

The training dataset can be: - QM9 (Wu et al., 2018) - consists of 130,000 stable small organic molecules containing up to nine heavy atoms (C, N, O, F) along with hydrogens. - GEOM-DRUGS (Axelrod and Gómez-Bombarelli, 2022) - consistes of 430,000 large organic molecules of up to 180 atoms.

Following prior work (Hoogeboom et al., 2022), we generally sample 10,000 molecules and compute validity, uniqueness and Posebusters sanity checks (Buttenschoen et al., 2024) for molecules. Data is generally split following prior work (Hoogeboom et al., 2022, Vignac et al., 2023) to ensure fair comparisons.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

2 leaderboard tables shown for this task, 2 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.

Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.

Libraries

Not in the archive: the export carries no per-task library table, so there is nothing to show at snapshot 2025-07-28.

Most implemented papers archive 2025-07-28

6 shown of 6 papers with code (8 tagged with this task in all), ordered by repositories listed in the archive, not by stars (the archive holds no stars, so PwC's “Social” and “Latest” sorts cannot be reproduced). Papers without a page here are shown as plain text.

Syntology lines on 6 of the papers shown; no Syntology record for the others (a paper without an arXiv id cannot be joined to the graph, and absence from the graph layer is not a recorded non-run). “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized fixture, not that the paper's result was reproduced.
