Summary

HMFNet, a feature-driven hierarchical multi-feature mapping network, addresses odor prediction challenges. It comprises modules for deep atomic-level feature extraction, global feature learning, and dynamic feature importance learning. A Chemically-Informed Loss mitigates class imbalance. The approach significantly improves performance across deep learning models, advancing molecular structure representation and AI-driven technologies. An ablation study highlights the importance of each component, with the full model outperforming variants. Figures analyze odor descriptor frequency and co-occurrence.
