Documentation

📖 Full usage docs — installation, quickstart, evaluating models, training downstream heads, training from scratch, and concepts — are online at https://molsuit.github.io/Rem3Di/.

Setup

1. pip install from pyproject.toml
2. Additionally clone and install a torch-sim fork from https://github.com/steffen-wedig/torch-sim

Raw dataset download

We work with a number of different datasets for benchmarking Rem3Di.

Scripts to download these datasets from can be found in scripts/dataset_download. All scripts take the target destination folder as their first argument.

Example: Geom Drugs can be downloaded by:

mkdir raw_datasets
bash scripts/dataset_download/download_geomdrugs.sh ./raw_datasets

Generating a MoleculeDataset for Training

TL;DR: We generate molecular datasets containing molecular structures and their mace descriptors from various sources, examples can be found in scripts/dataset_creation.

Dataset Overview

MoleculeDatasets (remedi/data_handling/dataset/molecule_dataset.py) is the object that contains all embedding and structural data for our molecular datasets. The datasets can further contain system wide, molecular labels, or atomwise labels, which can be used for training regression models. Our datasets are backed by zarr arrays(Design motivitation: multithreaded read access from disk, when dataset size exceeds memory limit). As the size of molecules varies, the MoleculeDataset contain pointer values that point to the molecules atom limits.

Dataset Generation

Dataset generation is implemented batchwise to increase performance, as GPU memory can be fully utilized in this way. The pipeline goes through the following stages.

1. MoleculeGenerators yield batches of smiles or processed ase atoms, in case the molecular structures are available in the datasets. For a new data source, like a new dataset that stores molecular data in its own way, you need to implement a new MoleculeGenerator.
2. Configurable Orchestrator will execute the pipeline. E.g. perform conformal sampling, relaxation. Lastly, the mace descriptors will be configured
3. Everything (Embeddings, structures, optional system wide or atom wise regression labels) will be shoved into the right zarr arrays in the MoleculeDataset.

Running Pretraining

1. Create a training dir with a training_config.yaml and architecture_config.yaml or generate the architecture_config.yaml with the scripts/write_config_file.py script. In the train dir
2. Run pretrainig via scripts/scripts/run_denoising_pretraining.py --train_dir "dir"

One note re. training: For training we create new dataset object (class TrainingMoleculeDataset). This contains additionally logic how multiple dataloader workers can simulatounsly retireve data from the same zarr files.

Using Pretrained Model

import torch
from remedi.configuration.architecture_config import EncoderOnlyArchitectureConfig
from remedi.evaluation.evaluation_utils import evaluate_molecular_descriptor_on_dataset
from remedi.data_handling.dataset.training_dataset import (
    TrainingMoleculeDataset,
    pos_emb_getitem,
)
ds = TrainingMoleculeDataset(training_config.dataset_path, get_item=pos_emb_getitem)
model = EncoderOnlyArchitectureConfig.from_directory(model_dir).build()
model.encoder.load_state_dict(torch.load(f"{model_dir}/encoder.pth"))
model.preprocessor.atomic_preprocessor.load_state_dict(
    torch.load(f"{model_dir}/atomic_preprocessor.pth")
)
model.preprocessor.geometric_preprocessor.load_state_dict(
    torch.load(f"{model_dir}/geometric_preprocessor.pth")
)
remedi_descriptors = evaluate_molecular_descriptor_on_dataset(model, ds)
