SYES: Frontiers of Electronic-Structure Theory: Focus on Artificial Intelligence Applied to Real Materials

SYES 1: Frontiers of Electronic-Structure Theory: Focus on Artificial Intelligence Applied to Real Materials

Donnerstag, 8. September 2022, 15:00–17:30, H1

Machine learning methods have gained a prominent spot in the research of materials and molecules, especially in the context of the atomic-scale modeling of their properties. The growing understanding of how machine-learning methods should be adapted to the specific requirements of the field is making them progressively more effective and easy to use. Machine-learning techniques use the predictions of electronic-structure theory to train surrogate models that can compute the same properties with similar accuracy at much reduced cost. The combination of physics-based and data-driven paradigms is extending dramatically the reach of electronic-structure theory, as its predictive accuracy can now be applied to more complex, larger-scale problems and longer timescales. The field has been evolving so fast that in the past years we have witnessed considerable breakthroughs enabled by this combination: first-principles accuracy assessment of finite-temperature thermodynamics, including also subtle effects such as quantum nuclear fluctuations, has become commonplace; predictions of microscopic quantities beyond the interatomic potential energy are making it possible to incorporate functional properties into a fully-predictive machine-learning framework; inverse design and generative models are simplifying the search of configurational and composition spaces for compounds with optimal performance; including information and training data calculated from methods that go beyond density functional theory allows to make predictions systematically improvable.
