# ChemSolubilityBERTa
## Model Description
ChemSolubilityBERTa is a prototype designed to predict the aqueous solubility of chemical compounds from their SMILES representations. Based on ChemBERTa, a BERT-like transformer-based architecture, ChemBERTa pre-trained on 77M SMILES strings for molecular property prediction. We adapted ChemBERTa to predict solubility values by fine-tuning ChemBERTa with the ESOL (Estimated SOLubility) dataset, a water solubility prediction dataset of 1,128 samples. A user inputs a SMILES string, and the model outputs a log solubility value (log mol/L).
You can read the full paper [here](./01_ChemSolubilityBERTa.pdf).

## Fine-Tuning Details
- Pretrained model: `seyonec/ChemBERTa-zinc-base-v1`
- Dataset: ESOL (delaney-processed)
- Task: Aqueous solubility prediction (log mol/L)
- Number of training epochs: 3
- Batch size: 16

## How to Use
You can use the model to predict solubility for any molecule represented by a SMILES string:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("username/ChemSolubilityBERTa")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("username/ChemSolubilityBERTa")

smiles_string = "CCO"  # Example for ethanol
inputs = tokenizer(smiles_string, return_tensors='pt')
outputs = model(**inputs)
solubility = outputs.logits.item()
print(f"Predicted solubility: {solubility}")
```
