Bayesian Graph Neural Networks for Molecular Property Prediction

25 Nov 2020  ·  George Lamb, Brooks Paige ·

Graph neural networks for molecular property prediction are frequently underspecified by data and fail to generalise to new scaffolds at test time. A potential solution is Bayesian learning, which can capture our uncertainty in the model parameters. This study benchmarks a set of Bayesian methods applied to a directed MPNN, using the QM9 regression dataset. We find that capturing uncertainty in both readout and message passing parameters yields enhanced predictive accuracy, calibration, and performance on a downstream molecular search task.
