De novo therapeutic design is challenged by a vast chemical repertoire and multiple constraints, e.g., high broad-spectrum potency and low toxicity. We propose CLaSS (Controlled Latent attribute Space Sampling) - an efficient computational method for attribute-controlled generation of molecules, which leverages guidance from classifiers trained on an informative latent space of molecules modeled using a deep generative autoencoder. We screen the generated molecules for additional key attributes by using deep learning classifiers in conjunction with novel features derived from atomistic simulations. The proposed approach is demonstrated for designing non-toxic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with strong broad-spectrum potency, which are emerging drug candidates for tackling antibiotic resistance. Synthesis and testing of only twenty designed sequences identified two novel and minimalist AMPs with high potency against diverse Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, including one multidrug-resistant and one antibiotic-resistant K. pneumoniae, via membrane pore formation. Both antimicrobials exhibit low in vitro and in vivo toxicity and mitigate the onset of drug resistance. The proposed approach thus presents a viable path for faster and efficient discovery of potent and selective broad-spectrum antimicrobials.

Deep generative models (e.g. GANs and VAEs) have been developed quite extensively in recent years. Lately, there has been an increased interest in the inversion of such a model, i.e. given a (possibly corrupted) signal, we wish to recover the latent
vector that generated it. Building upon sparse representation theory, we define conditions that are applicable to any inversion algorithm (gradient descent, deep encoder, etc.), under which such generative models are invertible with a unique solution. Importantly, the proposed analysis is applicable to any trained model, and does not depend on Gaussian i.i.d. weights. Furthermore, we introduce two layer-wise inversion pursuit algorithms for trained generative networks of arbitrary depth, and accompany these with recovery guarantees. Finally, we validate our theoretical results numerically and show that our method outperforms gradient descent when inverting such generators, both for clean and corrupted signals.
Recent research has revealed that deep generative models including flow-based models and Variational autoencoders may assign higher likelihood to out-of-distribution (OOD) data than in-distribution (ID) data. However, we cannot sample out OOD data fr
om the model. This counterintuitive phenomenon has not been satisfactorily explained. In this paper, we prove theorems to investigate the divergences in flow-based model and give two explanations to the above phenomenon from divergence and geometric perspectives, respectively. Based on our analysis, we propose two group anomaly detection methods. Furthermore, we decompose the KL divergence and propose a point-wise anomaly detection method. We have conducted extensive experiments on prevalent benchmarks to evaluate our methods. For group anomaly detection (GAD), our method can achieve near 100% AUROC on all problems and has robustness against data manipulations. On the contrary, the state-of-the-art (SOTA) GAD method performs not better than random guessing for challenging problems and can be attacked by data manipulation in almost all cases. For point-wise anomaly detection (PAD), our method is comparable to the SOTA PAD method on one category of problems and outperforms the baseline significantly on another category of problems.
Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is an important component of molecular property prediction, particularly for drug discovery applications where model predictions direct experimental design and where unanticipated imprecision wastes valuable time and r
esources. The need for UQ is especially acute for neural models, which are becoming increasingly standard yet are challenging to interpret. While several approaches to UQ have been proposed in the literature, there is no clear consensus on the comparative performance of these models. In this paper, we study this question in the context of regression tasks. We systematically evaluate several methods on five benchmark datasets using multiple complementary performance metrics. Our experiments show that none of the methods we tested is unequivocally superior to all others, and none produces a particularly reliable ranking of errors across multiple datasets. While we believe these results show that existing UQ methods are not sufficient for all common use-cases and demonstrate the benefits of further research, we conclude with a practical recommendation as to which existing techniques seem to perform well relative to others.
A common assumption in causal modeling posits that the data is generated by a set of independent mechanisms, and algorithms should aim to recover this structure. Standard unsupervised learning, however, is often concerned with training a single model
to capture the overall distribution or aspects thereof. Inspired by clustering approaches, we consider mixtures of implicit generative models that ``disentangle the independent generative mechanisms underlying the data. Relying on an additional set of discriminators, we propose a competitive training procedure in which the models only need to capture the portion of the data distribution from which they can produce realistic samples. As a by-product, each model is simpler and faster to train. We empirically show that our approach splits the training distribution in a sensible way and increases the quality of the generated samples.
Learning and inference movement is a very challenging problem due to its high dimensionality and dependency to varied environments or tasks. In this paper, we propose an effective probabilistic method for learning and inference of basic movements. Th
e motion planning problem is formulated as learning on a directed graphic model and deep generative model is used to perform learning and inference from demonstrations. An important characteristic of this method is that it flexibly incorporates the task descriptors and context information for long-term planning and it can be combined with dynamic systems for robot control. The experimental validations on robotic approaching path planning tasks show the advantages over the base methods with limited training data.
