• Abstract summary: We propose testing machine learning interatomic potentials on their practical ability to conserve energy during molecular dynamic simulations. We identify choices which may lead to models failing this test, and use these observations to improve upon highly-expressive models. The resulting model, eSEN, provides state-of-the-art results on a range of physical property prediction tasks.

• Abstract: Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) have become increasingly effective at approximating quantum mechanical calculations at a fraction of the computational cost. However, lower errors on held out test sets do not always translate to improved results on downstream physical property prediction tasks. In this paper, we propose testing MLIPs on their practical ability to conserve energy during molecular dynamic simulations. If passed, improved correlations are found between test errors and their performance on physical property prediction tasks. We identify choices which may lead to models failing this test, and use these observations to improve upon highly-expressive models. The resulting model, eSEN, provides state-of-the-art results on a range of physical property prediction tasks, including materials stability prediction, thermal conductivity prediction, and phonon calculations.

  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.

  A technique called pre-training is used to improve the accuracy of machine learning models. Pre-training involves training the model on pretext task, which is different from the target task, before training the model on the target task. In this study, we propose an effective pre-training method that addresses the imbalance in input data.

  This work proposes a novel dataset and benchmark, termed Physion++, to rigorously evaluate visual physical prediction in artificial systems. We test scenarios where accurate prediction relies on estimates of properties such as mass, friction, elasticity, and deformability. We evaluate the performance of a number of state-of-the-art prediction models that span a variety of levels of learning vs. built-in knowledge, and compare that performance to a set of human predictions.

  Recent has shown that machine learning (ML) models can be trained to accurately forecast the dynamics of chaotic dynamical systems. In the absence of mitigating techniques, this technique can result in artificially rapid error growth, leading to inaccurate predictions and/or climate instability. We introduce Linearized Multi-Noise Training (LMNT), a regularization technique that deterministically approximates the effect of many small, independent noise realizations added to the model input during training.
