Right now the notebooks are all for the RoBERTa model (a variant of BERT) trained on the task of masked-language modelling (MLM). Training was done over 10 epochs until loss converged to around 0.26 on the ZINC 250k dataset. The model weights for ChemBERTA pre-trained on various datasets (ZINC 100k, ZINC 250k, PubChem 100k, PubChem 250k, PubChem 1M, PubChem 10M) are available using HuggingFace. We expect to continue to release larger models pre-trained on even larger subsets of ZINC, CHEMBL, and PubChem in the near future.
This library is currently primarily a set of notebooks with our pre-training and fine-tuning setup, and will be updated soon with model implementation + attention visualization code, likely after the Arxiv publication. Stay tuned!
I hope this is of use to developers, students and researchers exploring the use of transformers and the attention mechanism for chemistry!
Please cite ChemBERTa's ArXiv paper if you have used these models, notebooks, or examples in any way. The link to the BibTex is available here.
You can load the tokenizer + model for MLM prediction tasks using the following code:
from transformers import AutoModelWithLMHead, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
#any model weights from the link above will work here
model = AutoModelWithLMHead.from_pretrained("seyonec/ChemBERTa-zinc-base-v1")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("seyonec/ChemBERTa-zinc-base-v1")
fill_mask = pipeline('fill-mask', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
The abstract for this method is detailed here. We expect to release a full paper on Arxiv in end-August.
- Official DeepChem implementation of ChemBERTa using model API (In progress)
- Open-source attention visualization suite used in paper (After formal publication - Beginning of September).
- Release larger pre-trained models, and support for a wider array of property prediction tasks (BBBP, etc). - See HuggingFace
- Finish writing notebook to train model
- Finish notebook to preload and run predictions on a single molecule —> test if HuggingFace works
- Train RoBERTa model until convergence
- Upload weights onto HuggingFace
- Create tutorial using evaluation + fine-tuning notebook.
- Create documentation + writing, visualizations for notebook.
- Setup PR into DeepChem
