Abstract

Accurately predicting the endpoints of chemical compounds is an important step towards drug design and molecular screening in particular. Here we develop a recursive architecture that is capable of mapping Undirected Graphs into individual labels, and apply it to the prediction of a number of different properties of small molecules. The results we obtain are generally state-of-the-art. The final model is completely general and may be applied not only to prediction of molecular properties, but to a vast range of problems in which the input is a graph and the output is either a single property or (with small modifications) a set of properties of the nodes.
