MIT researchers report CheMeleon, an open-source foundation model for predicting molecular properties, in the Sept. 14 issue of the Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling.

The team says CheMeleon, pre-trained on molecular descriptors of one million PubChem molecules, outperformed other foundation and expert-designed models across 58 test cases when few data points are available.

The paper's authors include MIT graduate student Akshat Shirish Zalte, recent graduate Jackson Burns, Research Scientist Charlles Abreu, Professor William Green, and three researchers from BASF. CheMeleon was built with ChemProp, an open-source machine-learning package also developed and maintained by Green's group at MIT. Anyone can download CheMeleon through ChemProp and fine-tune it for their own tasks.
