This is the official implementation of TransPolymer: "TransPolymer: a Transformer-based language model for polymer property predictions". In this work, we introduce TransPolymer, a Transformer-based language model, for representation learning of polymer sequences by pretraining on a large unlabeled dataset (~5M polymer sequences) via self-supervised masked language modeling and making accurate and efficient predictions of polymer properties in downstream tasks by finetuning.

The pretraining dataset is adopted from the paper "PI1M: A Benchmark Database for Polymer Informatics". Data augmentation is applied by augmenting each sequence to five. Pretraining data with smaller sizes are obtained by randomly picking up data entries from PI1M dataset.
Ten datasets, concerning different polymer properties including polymer electrolyte conductivity, band gap, electron affinity, ionization energy, crystallization tendency, dielectric constant, refractive index, and p-type polymer OPV power conversion efficiency, are used for downstream tasks. Data processing and augmentation are implemented before usage in the finetuning stage. The original datasets and their sources are listed below:
PE-I: "AI-Assisted Exploration of Superionic Glass-Type Li(+) Conductors with Aromatic Structures"
PE-II: "Database Creation, Visualization, and Statistical Learning for Polymer Li+-Electrolyte Design"
Egc, Egb, Eea, Ei, Xc, EPS, Nc: "Polymer informatics with multi-task learning"
The original and processed datasets are included in the data folder.
