CausalBind: Causal Modeling and Learning for Protein-Molecule Virtual Screening

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.07340v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Protein-molecule virtual screening is increasingly cast as a problem of representation learning in a shared embedding space. Existing methods rely on dense holistic alignment, entangling invariant binding determinants with nuisance correlations and limiting transfer to new targets. It has been noted that binding in protein-molecule systems involves sparse cross-modality interactions: binding is governed by a small contact interface and a few decisi
