Abstract

Molecular property prediction is key to drug development. The rising of deep learning techniques provides new possibilities to learn the molecular properties directly from chemical data. In particular, graph convolutional networks have been introduced into the field and made significant enhancements compared to traditional methods. The first part of this paper serves as a study to explore and evaluate this emerging method while the second part demonstrates that graph convolution networks can be further improved by incorporating attention mechanism, another influential deep learning idea.
