Molecular Contrastive Learning with Chemical Element Knowledge Graph

This repository is the official implementation of KCL, which is model proposed in a paper: Molecular Contrastive Learning with Chemical Element Knowledge Graph, accepted by AAAI 2022 main conference.

Brief Introduction

We construct a Chemical Element Knowledge Graph (KG) to summarize microscopic associations between elements and propose a novel Knowledge-enhanced Contrastive Learning (KCL) framework for molecular representation learning.

Model

We construct a Chemical Element Knowledge Graph (KG) to summarize microscopic associations between elements and propose a novel Knowledge-enhanced Contrastive Learning (KCL) framework for molecular representation learning. KCL framework consists of three modules. The first module, knowledge-guided graph augmentation, augments the original molecular graph based on the Chemical Element KG. The second module, knowledge-aware graph representation, extracts molecular representations with a common graph encoder for the original molecular graph and a Knowledge-aware Message Passing Neural Network (KMPNN) to encode complex information in the augmented molecular graph. The final module is a contrastive objective, where we maximize agreement between these two views of molecular graphs.

Preparing

Pre-training data

We collect 250K unlabeled molecules sampled from the ZINC 15 datasets to pre-train KCL. The raw pre-training data can be found in data/raw/zinc15_250K_2D.csv.

To save data loading time, we saved the molecular graphs and augmented molecular graphs of the pre-training dataset in LMDB before training. Please execute cd data and run:

• python graph_utils.py

Then you can find the processed LMDB file in zinc15_250K_2D. And you can also find another output zinc15_250K_2D.pkl, which determines the order in which the pre-training molecules are read.

(If you want direct access to the processed pre-training data, please download zinc15_250K_2D(8.58GB) and put it under data.)

Hard negative sampling strategy

We also apply hard negative sampling strategy. Since the pre-training dataset contains 250K molecules, calculating the similarity between pairs of this dataset will result in insufficient server memory. The strategy we make here is to split the original dataset into multiple subsets, and calculate the similarity between pairs of molecules contained in each subset and cluster them. The clustering results of each subset are stitched together to ensure that the molecules in each batch are similar. To apply hard negative sampling strategy, please execute cd data and run:

• bash dist.sh
• bash cluster.sh
• python uni_cluster.py

The output is stored in cluster_0.85.pkl. This filename corresponds to the data_name in pretrain.py, which determines the order in which the pre-training molecules are read.

If you don't want this hard negative sampling strategy, just replace the data_name in pretrain.py with zinc15_250K_2D. This operation will replace cluster_0.85.pkl to zinc15_250K_2D.pkl, which we obtained in the previous step. Remember to enter code/data/pretrain.py and modify shuffle=True to disrupt the order of reading the molecules.

Knowledge feature initialization

We adopt RotateE to train Chemical Element KG (code/triples.txt), the resulting embedding file is stored in code/initial/RotatE_128_64_emb.pkl.

If you want to train the KG by yourself, please execute cd code/initial and run:

• python load.py.

Pre-trained Models

We provided pretrained models, which you can download from code/dump/Pretrain/gnn-kmpnn-model.

Here we save 39 sets of KMPNN, GNN, Set2Set and WeightedSumAndMax models during training.

Running

Then you can test on downstream tasks, please execute cd code and run:

• bash script/finetune.sh

Change the data_name command in the bash file to replace different datasets.

You can also specify the encoder_name, training rate, encoder path, readout_path, etc. in this bash file.

Note that if you change the encoder_name, don't forget to change the encoder_path and readout_path! E.g:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python finetune.py \
    --seed 12 \
    --encoder_name GNN \
    --batch_size 64 \
    --predictor_hidden_feats 32 \
    --patience 100 \
    --encoder_path ./dump/Pretrain/gnn-kmpnn-model/GCNNodeEncoder_0910_0900_2000th_epoch.pkl \
    --readout_path ./dump/Pretrain/gnn-kmpnn-model/WeightedSumAndMax_0910_0900_2000th_epoch.pkl \
    --lr 0.001 \
    --predictor nonlinear \
    --eval nonfreeze \
    --data_name Tox21 \
    --dump_path ./dump \
    --exp_name KG-finetune-gnn \
    --exp_id tox21
