• Abstract summary: Machine learning (ML) is widely used to explore crystal materials and predict their properties. We propose an approach based on ensemble learning consisting of regression trees to predict formation energy and elastic constants. Without using any descriptor, the inputs are the properties calculated by molecular dynamics with 9 different classical interatomic potentials.

• Abstract: Machine learning (ML) is widely used to explore crystal materials and predict their properties. However, the training is time-consuming for deep-learning models, and the regression process is a black box that is hard to interpret. Also, the preprocess to transfer a crystal structure into the input of ML, called descriptor, needs to be designed carefully. To efficiently predict important properties of materials, we propose an approach based on ensemble learning consisting of regression trees to predict formation energy and elastic constants based on small-size datasets of carbon allotropes as an example. Without using any descriptor, the inputs are the properties calculated by molecular dynamics with 9 different classical interatomic potentials. Overall, the results from ensemble learning are more accurate than those from classical interatomic potentials, and ensemble learning can capture the relatively accurate properties from the 9 classical potentials as criteria for predicting the final properties.

  Machine learning models have been progressively used for predicting materials properties. These models are inherently interpolative, and their efficacy for searching candidates outside a material's known range of property is unresolved. Here, we determine the relationship between the extrapolation ability of an ML model, the size and range of its training dataset, and its learning approach.

  Machine Learning (ML)-based force fields are attracting ever-increasing interest due to their capacity to span scales of classical interatomic potentials at quantum-level accuracy. Here we leverage both Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and experimentally measured mechanical properties and lattice parameters to train an ML potential of titanium. We demonstrate that the fused data learning strategy can concurrently satisfy all target objectives, thus resulting in a molecular model of higher accuracy compared to the models trained with a single source data.
