Although machine learning has been successfully used to propose novel molecules that satisfy desired properties, it is still challenging to explore a large chemical space efficiently. In this paper, we present a conditional molecular design method that facilitates generating new molecules with desired properties. The proposed model, which simultaneously performs both property prediction and molecule generation, is built as a semisupervised variational autoencoder trained on a set of existing mol

k-nearest neighbor (kNN) is a widely used learning algorithm for supervised learning tasks. In practice, the main challenge when using kNN is its high sensitivity to its hyperparameter setting, including the number of nearest neighbors k, the distance function, and the weighting function. To improve the robustness to hyperparameters, this study presents a novel kNN learning method based on a graph neural network, named kNNGNN. Given training data, the method learns a task-specific kNN rule in an

With the advancements in deep learning, deep generative models combined with graph neural networks have been successfully employed for data-driven molecular graph generation. Early methods based on the non-autoregressive approach have been effective in generating molecular graphs quickly and efficiently but have suffered from low performance. In this paper, we present an improved learning method involving a graph variational autoencoder for efficient molecular graph generation in a non-autoregre

In this paper, we present a data-driven method for the uncertainty-aware prediction of chemical reaction yields. The reactants and products in a chemical reaction are represented as a set of molecular graphs. The predictive distribution of the yield is modeled as a graph neural network that directly processes a set of graphs with permutation invariance. Uncertainty-aware learning and inference are applied to the model to make accurate predictions and to evaluate their uncertainty. We demonstrate

Fast and accurate prediction of NMR spectra enables automatic structure validation and elucidation of molecules on a large scale. In this Article, we propose an improved method of learning from an NMR database to predict the chemical shifts of NMR-active atoms of a new molecule. For this purpose, we use a message passing neural network that operates on the graph representation of a molecule. The compactness and informativeness of the graph representation are enhanced by treating hydrogen atoms i

In semiconductor manufacturing, wafer fabrication is followed by chip assembly where individual dies are assembled as a packaged chip. In between, dies are tested in terms of their electrical properties and those which fail to pass the “wafer test” are filtered out. However, some faulty dies pass the test and cause a packaged chip to fail in the final test. The inaccuracy of the wafer test leads to waste in manufacturing time and cost. In this paper, we propose to predict the result of the final

The enhancement of production yield is a continuous challenge in semiconductor manufacturing. Analyzing the spatial defect patterns of previously processed wafers is a key step in identifying the root causes of yield degradation. Predictive modeling approaches have been successful in automated wafer map pattern classification. The classification performance depends significantly on the quantity and diversity of data that can be acquired, which are often limited in practice. In this study, we dem
