Back to Basics: Improving Molecular Understanding in LLMs via SMILES-Graph Translation
Wenda Wang, Jinjia Feng, Zhewei Wei
Recent advances in molecular large language models have led to strong performance on molecular understanding and generation tasks, yet these gains often come without reliable structural grounding. In particular, existing approaches conflict with the chemistry principle that struc…
