Loss-Guided Adaptive Scale Refinement for Molecular Force Prediction

arXiv:2606.09480v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Molecular systems involve interactions across multiple spatial scales, from local coordination and short-range perturbations to long-range electrostatic and solvent-mediated effects. However, most molecular representation learning methods rely on manually predefined scales, and the task-optimal modeling scale may not coincide with these fixed levels. This study introduces a loss-guided adaptive scale refinement framework for molecular force prediction, treating predefined scales as initial anchors and discovering task-effective resolutions throug
