The paper presents a new foundation model called nach0 that is designed to handle a wide range of natural language processing (NLP) and chemistry-related tasks. The model is built using an encoder-decoder transformer architecture and is pre-trained on both textual data (scientific literature and patents) as well as chemical data (SMILES strings).
The key highlights of the paper are:
The nach0 model is pre-trained on a diverse set of data sources, including scientific literature, patents, and molecular structures, to incorporate a range of chemical and linguistic knowledge.
The model is fine-tuned using a multi-task approach, where it is trained on a variety of tasks specified through natural language prompts. These tasks include NLP problems (e.g., named entity recognition, question answering), chemistry-related tasks (e.g., molecular property prediction, reaction prediction), and cross-domain tasks (e.g., description-guided molecule design).
Extensive experiments demonstrate that the nach0 model outperforms state-of-the-art baselines on both single-domain and cross-domain tasks. The model is able to generate high-quality outputs in both textual and molecular formats, showcasing its effectiveness in multi-domain setups.
The authors also present two case studies to illustrate the capabilities of the nach0 model in drug discovery and generative chemistry applications.
Overall, the paper introduces a novel multimodal foundation model that can effectively leverage both natural language and chemical data to tackle a diverse range of tasks, paving the way for advancements in areas such as drug discovery and materials design.
