Getting started

This library extends Keras with additional layers for handling molecular structures (i.e., graph-based inputs). There a strong familiarity with Keras is recommended.

An overview of how to build a model is shown in examples/solubility_test_graph_output.ipynb. Models can optionally include 3D molecular geometry; a simple example of a network using 3D geometry is found in examples/model_3d_coordinates.ipynb.

The current state-of-the-art architecture on QM9 (published in [4]) is included in examples/schnet_edgeupdate.py. This script requires qm9 preprocessing to be run before the model is evaluated with examples/preprocess_qm9.py.
