However, existing methods that generate molecular views by noise-adding operations for contrastive learning may face the semantic inconsistency problem, which leads to false positive pairs and consequently poor prediction performance.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To address this problem, in this article, we first propose a semantic-invariant view generation method by properly breaking molecular graphs into fragment pairs. Then, we develop a Fragment-based Semantic-Invariant Contrastive Learning (FraSICL) model based on this view generation method for molecular property prediction. The FraSICL model consists of two branches to generate representations of views for contrastive learning, meanwhile a multi-view fusion and an auxiliary similarity loss are introduced to make better use of the information contained in different fragment-pair views. Extensive experiments on various benchmark datasets show that with the least number of pre-training samples, FraSICL can achieve state-of-the-art performance, compared with major existing counterpart models.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The code is publicly
