New method optimizes training data for machine-learned interatomic potentials

Researchers have developed a new method for selecting training data for machine-learned interatomic potentials, which are crucial for simulating materials at the atomic level. The study introduces a budget-dependent crossover strategy that balances structural diversity with targeting configurations where models show disagreement. This approach was tested on MACE models using GAP-20 Carbon and MD17 datasets, demonstrating that the optimal selection method depends on the amount of data retained. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and accurate simulations of materials, accelerating discovery in fields like chemistry and physics.
