This research paper focuses on optimizing pre-training strategies for graph transformers specifically within the biochemistry domain, identifying supervised pre-training with computed properties as the most effective approach. The study also emphasizes the necessity of constraining model capacity to prevent overfitting, offering practical insights for scaling these architectures in scientific applications.
Pre-training with Graph Transformers
arXiv:2609.13844v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This article investigates pre-training strategies for graph transformers in the biochemistry domain. By conducting comprehensive experiments, the study reveals that supervised pre-training using computed properties as labels provides the highest performance gain on downstream tasks. The results also highlight the importance of constraining model capacity to mitigate overfitting in graph transformers.
