Abstract
BACKGROUND: Effective molecular feature representation is crucial for drug property prediction. Recent years have seen increased attention on graph neural networks (GNNs) that are pre-trained using self-supervised learning techniques, aiming to overcome the scarcity of labeled data in molecular property prediction. Traditional GNNs in self-supervised molecular property prediction typically perform a single masking operation on the nodes and edges of the input molecular graph, masking only local information and insufficient for thorough self-supervised training.
