• Abstract: Transition states are a critical bottleneck in chemical transformations. Significant efforts have been made to develop algorithms that efficiently locate transition states on potential energy surfaces. However, the computational cost of ab-initio potential energy surface evaluation limits the size of chemical systems that can routinely studied. In this work, we develop and fine-tune a graph neural network potential energy function suitable for describing organic chemical reactions and use it to rapidly identify transition state guess structures. We successfully refine guess structures and locate a transition state in each test system considered and reduce the average number of ab-initio calculations by 47% though use of the graph neural network potential energy function. Our results show that modern machine learning models have reached levels of reliability whereby they can be used to accelerate routine computational chemistry tasks.

  Neural wave functions accomplished unprecedented accuracies in approximating the ground state of many-electron systems, though at a high computational cost. Recent works proposed amortizing the cost by learning generalized wave functions across different structures and compounds instead of solving each problem independently. This work tackles the problem by defining overparametrized, fully learnable neural wave functions suitable for generalization across molecules.

  It is necessary to consider the behavior of the signals in each sensor separately, to take into account their correlation and hidden relationships with each other. The graph nodes can be represented as data from the different sensors, and the edges can display the influence of these data on each other. It was proposed to construct a graph during the training of graph neural network. This allows to train models on data where the dependencies between the sensors are not known in advance.

• Learned Force Fields Are Ready For Ground State Catalyst Discovery [60.41853574951094]
  We present evidence that learned density functional theory (DFT'') force fields are ready for ground state catalyst discovery. Key finding is that relaxation using forces from a learned potential yields structures with similar or lower energy to those relaxed using the RPBE functional in over 50% of evaluated systems. We show that a force field trained on a locally harmonic energy surface with the same minima as a target DFT energy is also able to find lower or similar energy structures in over 50% of cases.

We demonstrate that the contemporary theory of nerve conduction based on cable theory is inappropriate to account for the short computational time necessary. Deconstruction of the brain neural network suggests that it is a member of a group of Quantum phase computers of which the Turing machine is the simplest.
