We employ expert and autonomously generated data to create the training data and fit four force-field variants to subsets of the data.
Our findings reveal a critical balance in training data diversity: insufficient diversity hinders generalization, while excessive diversity can exceed the MLIP's learning capacity.

- Abstract: Machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) are becoming an essential tool in materials modeling. However, optimizing the generation of training data used to parameterize the MLIPs remains a significant challenge. This is because MLIPs can fail when encountering local enviroments too different from those present in the training data. The difficulty of determining \textit{a priori} the environments that will be encountered during molecular dynamics (MD) simulation necessitates diverse, high-quality training data. This study investigates how training data diversity affects the performance of MLIPs using the Ultra-Fast Force Field (UF$^3$) to model amorphous silicon nitride. We employ expert and autonomously generated data to create the training data and fit four force-field variants to subsets of the data. Our findings reveal a critical balance in training data diversity: insufficient diversity hinders generalization, while excessive diversity can exceed the MLIP's learning capacity, reducing simulation accuracy. Specifically, we found that the UF$^3$ variant trained on a subset of the training data, in which nitrogen-rich structures were removed, offered vastly better prediction and simulation accuracy than any other variant. By comparing these UF$^3$ variants, we highlight the nuanced requirements for creating accurate MLIPs, emphasizing the importance of application-specific training data to achieve optimal performance in modeling complex material behaviors.
