DFT Accuracy on Crystal Structure Prediction with Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials

LI Midgley, C Lin, JH Moore, F Della Pia, J Antorán, SO Nilsson Lill, ESE Eriksson, FA Faber, L Tornberg, A Broo, G Csányi

In collaboration with

We present an evaluation of CSP-MACE-Å, a machine learning interatomic potential intended to replace DFT in crystal structure prediction (CSP). By running multiple orders of magnitude faster than DFT, CSP-MACE-Å enables energy and free energy evaluation of far more candidate structures, providing greater confidence when derisking solid forms.

Computing Solvation Free Energies of Small Molecules with Experimental Accuracy

JH Moore, DJ Cole, G Csányi

We introduce an efficient alchemical free energy protocol that enables calculations of rigorous free energy differences in condensed phase systems modeled entirely by MLPs. Using a pretrained, transferable, alchemically equipped MLP model, we demonstrate subchemical accuracy for the solvation free energies of a wide range of organic molecules.

Flow Annealed Importance Sampling Bootstrap

LI Midgley, V Stimper, GNC Simm, B Schölkopf, JM Hernández-Lobato

We introduce FAB, a new method for training generative models to sample accurately from Boltzmann distributions of molecular systems using only the energy function, without requiring samples from the target distribution. We are the first to learn the Boltzmann distribution of the alanine dipeptide molecule using only the unnormalized target density, without access to samples generated via Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations.

SE(3) Equivariant Augmented Coupling Flows

LI Midgley, V Stimper, J Antorán, E Mathieu, B Schölkopf, JM Hernández-Lobato

We present a coupling normalizing flow architecture that preserves SE(3) and permutation equivariance while providing both fast sampling and density evaluation. We are the first to learn the full Boltzmann distribution of alanine dipeptide by only modeling the Cartesian positions of its atoms.
