The paper introduces a self-supervised learning framework called REMO (Representation Learning via Molecular Operations) that leverages well-defined atom-combination rules in common chemistry to pre-train graph/Transformer encoders. The framework is designed for molecular representation learning (MRL), which aims to infer meaningful representations of chemical compounds from unlabelled data. REMO proposes two pre-training objectives: Masked Reaction Centre Reconstruction (MRCR) and Reaction Centre Identification (RCI). By exploiting shared patterns in chemical reactions as context, REMO outperforms standard baselines on various downstream molecular tasks with minimal fine-tuning.

The paper presents a new way to learn about molecules using computer programs. It’s like teaching a robot to recognize patterns in how atoms are connected in different chemicals. The approach is called REMO and it uses rules we already know about chemistry to help the robot learn. This helps the robot make good predictions about how different chemicals will behave, which is important for things like finding new medicines. The results show that REMO is better than other methods at doing this kind of prediction.
