Molecular property prediction (MPP) is a crucial task in the drug discovery pipeline, which has recently gained considerable attention thanks to advances in deep neural networks. However, recent research has revealed that deep models struggle to beat traditional non-deep ones on MPP. In this study, we benchmark 12 representative models (3 non-deep models and 9 deep models) on 14 molecule datasets. Through the most comprehensive study to date, we make the following key observations: \textbf{(\romannumeral 1)} Deep models are generally unable to outperform non-deep ones; \textbf{(\romannumeral 2)} The failure of deep models on MPP cannot be solely attributed to the small size of molecular datasets. What matters is the irregular molecule data pattern; \textbf{(\romannumeral 3)} In particular, tree models using molecular fingerprints as inputs tend to perform better than other competitors. Furthermore, we conduct extensive empirical investigations into the unique patterns of molecule data and inductive biases of various models underlying these phenomena.

An amplitude-optimised bit-edge equalisation (BEE) scheme is presented and compared with pulse-width modulation for mitigating intersymbol interference in high-speed backplane applications. With transmitter pre-coding and pre-emphasis, this BEE uses an adaptive LMS algorithm as a receiver error convergence engine by adjusting error derivation points. The optimality of the proposed BEE scheme is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
