Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

FM4M is a family of foundation models developed by IBM for materials and chemistry discovery, trained on large corpora of molecular and materials data to learn general-purpose representations. Its SMI-TED component is a transformer-based encoder-decoder that represents molecules through their SMILES string notation, enabling the model to predict molecular properties and propose candidate chemical structures.
