New framework AtomBench standardizes AI model evaluation for crystal reconstruction

Researchers have developed AtomBench, a new framework for evaluating generative crystal reconstruction models, particularly for conventional superconductors. The framework allows for standardized comparisons by ensuring models receive equal crystallographic information during reconstruction. In tests using the JARVIS Supercon-3D and Alexandria DS-A/B datasets, MatterGen demonstrated the best atomic-coordinate reconstruction, while CDVAE excelled at lattice accuracy. The study also found that conditioning on critical temperature did not consistently improve reconstruction fidelity. AtomBench is released as an open-source Python package to encourage community use and benchmarking. AI

    AtomBench: A Benchmarking Framework for Generative Crystal Reconstruction Models in Conventional Superconductors

    arXiv:2510.16165v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A key question in benchmarking generative crystal reconstruction models is how the amount and type of crystallographic information provided to a generative model affects its ability to reconstruct atomic structures. Yet such com…
