Here, we present a unique methodology for crystal structure prediction that relies on a machine learning algorithm called metric learning. For a given query composition with an unknown crystal structure, the model is used to automatically select from a crystal structure database a set of template crystals.

• Abstract: The prediction of energetically stable crystal structures formed by a given chemical composition is a central problem in solid-state physics. In principle, the crystalline state of assembled atoms can be determined by optimizing the energy surface, which in turn can be evaluated using first-principles calculations. However, performing the iterative gradient descent on the potential energy surface using first-principles calculations is prohibitively expensive for complex systems, such as those with many atoms per unit cell. Here, we present a unique methodology for crystal structure prediction (CSP) that relies on a machine learning algorithm called metric learning. It is shown that a binary classifier, trained on a large number of already identified crystal structures, can determine the isomorphism of crystal structures formed by two given chemical compositions with an accuracy of approximately 96.4\%. For a given query composition with an unknown crystal structure, the model is used to automatically select from a crystal structure database a set of template crystals with nearly identical stable structures to which element substitution is to be applied. Apart from the local relaxation calculation of the identified templates, the proposed method does not use ab initio calculations. The potential of this substation-based CSP is demonstrated for a wide variety of crystal systems.

  We propose Generative Hierarchical Materials Search (GenMS) for controllable generation of crystal structures. GenMS consists of (1) a language model that takes high-level natural language as input and generates intermediate textual information about a crystal. GenMS additionally uses a graph neural network to predict properties (e.g., formation energy) from the generated crystal structures.

• Crystal structure prediction of materials with high symmetry using differential evolution [0.5249805590164902]
  We propose a contact map-based crystal structure prediction method, which uses genetic algorithms to maximize the match between the contact map of predicted structure and the contact map of the real crystal structure. When predicting the crystal structure with high symmetry, we find that the global optimization algorithm has difficulty to find an effective combination of WPs that satisfies the chemical formula. Our proposed algorithm CMCrystalHS can effectively solve the problem of inconsistent contact map dimensions and predict the crystal structures with high symmetry.
