Improving Molecular Property Prediction in Small Language Models Using Graph-based Tools
Konstantinos Bougiatiotis, Dimitrios Kelesis, Georgios Paliouras
Small language models (SLMs) have shown promise for zero-shot molecular property prediction from SMILES strings, yet they often suffer from structural blindness because sequence representations under-specify key graph-topological cues. We propose a modular Context-Augmented Promp…
