Structure-based drug design (SBDD) requires ligands that satisfy both 3D target affinity and 1D chemical validity. Existing controllable generation methods often rely on task-specific fine-tuning or externally imposed sampling-time guidance, adding cost and potentially conflicting with evolving 3D geometric constraints. We propose LiFT, a language-informed cross-modal framework built on Flow Matching for trend-guided 3D molecular generation across both de novo design and scaffold hopping. LiFT uses a “Sense-Evolve-Assemble” agent to generate target-aware SMILES as intermediate chemical conditions, from which a pre-trained chemical foundation model extracts continuous semantic priors. These priors are integrated into geometric generation through a lightweight semantic projector with zero-initialized adaptive normalization for stable cross-modal conditioning. We further introduce a Self-Conditioned Decoupled Router (SCDR), which modulates the velocity field according to intermediate structural states during ODE integration. Experiments on CrossDocked2020 show that LiFT achieves competitive distribution matching while improving medicinal chemistry metrics and maintaining competitive structural validity under task-steering settings without additional generator fine-tuning. Our results suggest that language-derived chemical priors provide effective trend-level guidance for 3D molecular generation.

The rapid advance of automatic survey generation (ASG) has created a critical evaluation challenge. Existing evaluation methods suffer from both cognitive dimensional simplification and methodological unreliability, primarily due to the over-reliance on the ”LLM-as-a-Judge” approach. To bridge this gap, we establish Bloom-Eval, a six-tiered benchmark based on Bloom’s Taxonomy that reliably evaluates ASG systems by prioritizing deterministic algorithms and introducing our GRADE approach for abstract abilities. Furthermore, we construct a large-scale, cross-disciplinary dataset of over 3,000 high-quality papers. Our empirical study on this benchmark reveals that while leading ASG systems are proficient format organizers, they remain unqualified knowledge integrators. This work aims to redefine ASG evaluation standards, shifting the research focus from the formal mimicry of surface structure to the cognitive deepening of intellectual content. Our method provides the ASG field with a systematic, reproducible, and theoretically grounded benchmark to guide future research.
