# molcrawl-compounds-bert-medium

## Model Description

GPT-2 medium (345M parameters) foundation model pre-trained on compound SMILES strings from the MolCrawl dataset.

The tokenizer is a character-level BPE tokenizer (vocab_size=612) that encodes each SMILES character as a separate token. Input SMILES strings should be passed **without** spaces (e.g. `CC(=O)O`). The `[SEP]` token (id=13) is used as the end-of-sequence marker.

- **Model Type**: bert
- **Data Type**: Molecule/Compound
- **Training Date**: 2026-04-24

## Usage

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("kojima-lab/molcrawl-compounds-bert-medium")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("kojima-lab/molcrawl-compounds-bert-medium")

# Predict masked SMILES token
# Use tokenizer.mask_token instead of hardcoded "[MASK]":
# BERT-style tokenizers vary ("[MASK]", "<mask>", etc.)
if tokenizer.mask_token is None:
    raise ValueError("This tokenizer has no mask_token; masked LM inference is not supported.")
prompt = "CC(=O){MASK}".replace("{MASK}", tokenizer.mask_token)
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
mask_index = (inputs["input_ids"] == tokenizer.mask_token_id).nonzero(as_tuple=True)[1]

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
logits = outputs.logits

predicted_token_id = logits[0, mask_index].argmax(dim=-1)
predicted_token = tokenizer.decode(predicted_token_id)
result = prompt.replace(tokenizer.mask_token, predicted_token)
print(f"Predicted: {result}")

```
