arXiv:2604.06336v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fragment-level representations provide a natural way to capture recurring molecular substructures and reuse their learned representations across molecules. However, a shared fragment identity alone may not fully describe how a fragment is instantiated in a particular molecule, since the same fragment can exhibit different chemical behavior depending on its surrounding atomic environment. Effective fragment-based molecular learning therefore requires representations that are both reusable across molecules and sensitive to local atomic context. We introduce BiScale-GTR, a self-supervised molecular representation framework built around context-grounded shared fragment tokens. BiScale-GTR constructs a reusable graph Byte Pair Encoding (graph-BPE) vocabulary using Weisfeiler-Lehman (WL)-based fragment identity, chemical validity filtering, and recursive out-of-vocabulary (OOV) decomposition. Each shared fragment token is then grounded with atom-level GNN representations through atom-to-fragment pooling and gated fusion, allowing the same fragment identity to acquire context-dependent representations in different molecular environments. A structure-aware fragment Transformer performs global reasoning over these atom-grounded tokens, capturing reusable substructure identity, local chemical context, and long-range molecular dependencies. Experiments on MoleculeNet, PharmaBench, and the Long Range Graph Benchmark demonstrate strong performance across classification and regression tasks. Attribution analysis further shows …
