摘要
In the current field of AI-assisted scientific research (AI for Science), particularly in drug discovery and biomedicine, we often face the challenge of scarce labeled data. Few-shot learning has become a key technology to address this challenge, as it can effectively leverage limited data for learning and prediction. In this report, I will introduce a series of machine learning algorithms developed specifically to improve data efficiency and prediction accuracy in AI for Science under data scarcity. I will discuss the application of few-shot learning techniques in molecular property prediction, reviewing existing technologies and presenting our proposed Property-Aware Relationship Network (PAR) (NeurIPS 2021, TPAMI 2024) and parameter-efficient Graph Neural Network Adapter (PACIA) (IJCAI 2024). PAR optimizes the relationship representations between molecules by introducing a property-aware molecular encoder and a dependency-query-based relational graph learning module, thereby improving prediction accuracy for various chemical properties. Meanwhile, PACIA enhances few-shot molecular property prediction performance by generating a small number of adaptive parameters to modulate the information propagation process in graph neural networks. In addition, I will introduce the KnowDDI technique (Communications Medicine 2024), which enhances drug representations by leveraging large biomedical knowledge graphs and explains predicted drug-drug interactions (DDIs) by learning knowledge subgraphs of drug pairs, effectively addressing the issue of scarce known data. KnowDDI not only improves prediction performance but also enhances the interpretability of the model, making the prediction process more transparent and trustworthy. Finally, I will share the vision of applying few-shot learning techniques in broader scientific research.
