Techniques regarding generating molecular structures with attributes of interest are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a transfer learning component that determines a molecular structure of a compound by employing a transfer learning process that utilizes lessons learned from an unconditional generative machine learning model to train a conditional machine learning model that regards a target attribute profile.
