The paper introduces a new approach to generative models, called KARL, which leverages biomedical knowledge graphs to improve the generation of molecules and novel drug candidates. By developing a scalable methodology to extend knowledge graph functionality while preserving semantic integrity, the authors incorporate contextual information into a diffusion-based model. The integration of knowledge graph embeddings with the generative model enables the production of novel drug candidates with specific characteristics while ensuring validity and synthesizability.

The paper creates a new way for computers to generate molecules and drugs using biomedical knowledge. It combines two types of models: one that uses patterns in data to make predictions, and another that uses information from a special kind of database called a knowledge graph. The combined model is better at generating new molecules and drugs than existing methods.
