Atom-JEPA: Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture for 3D Atomistic Systems

To address this, we introduce Atom-JEPA, a self-supervised pretraining framework that learns latent representations from unlabeled 3D structures through complementary atom-level and substructure-level objectives inspired by joint-embedding predictive architectures.

Key points

  • While deep learning has driven considerable progress in modeling atomistic systems in recent years, self-supervised pretraining in this domain has not yet achieved comparable downstream generalization.
  • We pretrain Atom-JEPA on large-scale molecular and crystalline datasets and evaluate its transfer performance by fine-tuning on a diverse set of downstream property prediction tasks.
  • Atom-JEPA achieves state-of-the-art performance on molecular ADMET and quantum-chemical property prediction tasks, and is highly competitive in predicting the physical properties of crystalline materials.
  • These results demonstrate the potential of latent-space predictive pretraining to support broad downstream generalization from structural data alone.
