Title: From Single-Step Edit Response to Multi-Step Molecular Optimization

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.10035v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conditional molecular optimization aims to edit a molecule to realize a specified property shift. In practice, structurally similar molecule data is scarce, while decisions are inherently action-level: at each step, the system must select one local structural edit from a candidate set that is strictly filtered by chemical feasibility rules. This level mismatch between supervision and decision makes oracle-in-the-loop search unstable in molecular op
