Simple graph models match deep learning for molecular prediction
Classical topological indices enhanced with regularization and ensemble methods outperform neural networks on molecular property benchmarks without GPU requirements.
Enhanced graph-based molecular models achieve 0.79 average R² by combining topology, physicochemistry, and gradient boosting—matching or beating deep learning.
- — Baseline D(G)-ζ(G) polynomial model scored only 0.24 R² across five MoleculeNet datasets.
- — Systematic enhancements: Ridge regularization, additional graph descriptors, physicochemical features, ensemble boosting, and feature selection.
- — Final models improved 165–274% over baseline, reaching 0.79 average R² with p<0.001 significance.
- — Enhanced classical approach matched or exceeded Graph Convolutional Networks on all five benchmarks.
- — Hybrid topological+Morgan fingerprint model tied or won against recent GNN+probabilistic graphical model hybrid.
- — No GPU needed; full training completes in under five minutes using open-source libraries.
- — Framework accessible to researchers without high-performance computing infrastructure.

- Yes, according to this study. Enhanced classical models combining topological indices, physicochemical properties, Ridge regularization, and Gradient Boosting achieved 0.79 average R² across five benchmarks, matching or exceeding Graph Convolutional Networks. The key is systematic feature engineering and ensemble methods, not model complexity.
