• Abstract summary: We present the Materials Learning Algorithms (MALA) package, a scalable machine learning framework suitable for large-scale atomistic simulations. MALA models efficiently predict key electronic observables, including local density of states, electronic density, density of states, and total energy. We demonstrate MALA's capabilities with examples including boron clusters, aluminum across its solid-liquid phase boundary, and predicting the electronic structure of a stacking fault in a large beryllium slab.

• Abstract: We present the Materials Learning Algorithms (MALA) package, a scalable machine learning framework designed to accelerate density functional theory (DFT) calculations suitable for large-scale atomistic simulations. Using local descriptors of the atomic environment, MALA models efficiently predict key electronic observables, including local density of states, electronic density, density of states, and total energy. The package integrates data sampling, model training and scalable inference into a unified library, while ensuring compatibility with standard DFT and molecular dynamics codes. We demonstrate MALA's capabilities with examples including boron clusters, aluminum across its solid-liquid phase boundary, and predicting the electronic structure of a stacking fault in a large beryllium slab. Scaling analyses reveal MALA's computational efficiency and identify bottlenecks for future optimization. With its ability to model electronic structures at scales far beyond standard DFT, MALA is well suited for modeling complex material systems, making it a versatile tool for advanced materials research.

  Current Multi-Modal Large Language Models (MLLM) have shown strong capabilities in general visual reasoning tasks. We develop a new framework, named Multi-Modal Scientific Reasoning with Physics Perception and Simulation (MAPS) based on an MLLM. MAPS decomposes expert-level multi-modal reasoning task into physical diagram understanding via a Physical Perception Model (PPM) and reasoning with physical knowledge via a simulator.

  Fine-tuning large language models on text-encoded atomistic data is simple to implement yet reliable. We show that our strongest model can generate materials predicted to be metastable at about twice the rate of CDVAE. Because of text prompting's inherent flexibility, our models can simultaneously be used for unconditional generation of stable material.

However, the computational expense of KS-DFT scales cubically with system size which tends to stymie training data generation. Here, we address this fundamental challenge by employing transfer learning to leverage the multi-scale nature of the training data.
