• Abstract: Machine-learning models based on a point-cloud representation of a physical object are ubiquitous in scientific applications and particularly well-suited to the atomic-scale description of molecules and materials. Among the many different approaches that have been pursued, the description of local atomic environments in terms of their neighbor densities has been used widely and very succesfully. We propose a novel density-based method which involves computing ``Wigner kernels''. These are fully equivariant and body-ordered kernels that can be computed iteratively with a cost that is independent of the radial-chemical basis and grows only linearly with the maximum body-order considered. This is in marked contrast to feature-space models, which comprise an exponentially-growing number of terms with increasing order of correlations. We present several examples of the accuracy of models based on Wigner kernels in chemical applications, for both scalar and tensorial targets, reaching state-of-the-art accuracy on the popular QM9 benchmark dataset, and we discuss the broader relevance of these ideas to equivariant geometric machine-learning.

• Tensor-reduced atomic density representations [0.0]
  Graph neural networks escape scaling by mapping chemical element information into a fixed dimensional space in a learnable way. We recast this approach as tensor factorisation by exploiting the tensor structure of standard neighbour density based descriptors. In doing so, we form compact tensor-reduced representations whose size does not depend on the number of chemical elements.

  electron density of a molecule or material has recently received major attention as a target quantity of machine-learning models. We propose a gradient-based approach to minimize the loss function of the regression problem in an optimized and highly sparse feature space. We show that starting from the predicted density a single Kohn-Sham diagonalization step can be performed to access total energy components that carry an error of just 0.1 meV/atom.
