Multi-fidelity training impacts uncertainty in atomistic models

A new study published on arXiv explores the impact of multi-fidelity training on uncertainty decomposition in atomistic models. Researchers used deep ensembles of MACE models trained on ANI-1x data, comparing training from scratch with low-fidelity pretraining followed by fine-tuning. The findings indicate that pretraining improves prediction accuracy and uncertainty-based ranking but can lead to poorly calibrated predictive variances, especially under extrapolation to unseen molecular systems or higher-energy configurations. The study highlights that uncertainty ranking and calibration are distinct properties that require separate evaluation in multi-fidelity atomistic modeling. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more reliable uncertainty quantification in atomistic simulations, improving their application in scientific discovery.

    Multi-Fidelity Training Reshapes Uncertainty Decomposition in Atomistic Models

    arXiv:2610.35560v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-fidelity training, which combines abundant low-fidelity data with scarce high-fidelity labels, is increasingly common in atomistic modeling, but its effect on predictive uncertainty remains largely unexplored. We investigate…
