Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual curation and selection of molecular structures is used, then training data quality can be controlled, but the process becomes labor-intensive and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates and curates molecular structures using computational methods, eliminating the need for manual curation. The automated pipeline includes generating molecular structures, computing geometric information, filtering edges based on probability functions, and preparing training data without human intervention, thus resolving the contradiction between data quality control and time consumption.
2Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive molecular structures are used in training data, then the model can capture diverse molecular properties, but the computational resources and graph complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the most relevant edges from molecular graphs using probability-based filtering. By computing geometric information and applying probability functions to identify and retain only significant atomic interactions, the method removes redundant edges while preserving essential molecular properties, thus reducing graph complexity without sacrificing adaptability.
3Ease of manufacture
If existing methods are used to prepare training data, then the process is simpler, but the model performance is suboptimal for complex molecular scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing of molecular structures by pre-computing geometric information, pre-filtering edges using probability functions, and pre-generating training data with optimized graph representations. This preliminary action ensures that when the model is trained, it receives high-quality, pre-processed data that significantly improves performance on complex molecular scenarios while maintaining automated simplicity.
