Machine-learning potentials (MLP) trained on first-principles datasets are becoming increasingly popular since they enable the treatment of larger system sizes and longer time scales compared to straight ab initio techniques. A key aspect for the use of these MLPs is to reliably assess the accuracy viz. uncertainty of the predictions, e.g., by training an ensemble of models. Here, we critically examine the robustness of such uncertainty predictions using equivariant message-passing neural networks as an example [1]. We train an ensemble of models on liquid silicon simulated at the gradient-corrected density-functional-theory level and compare the predicted uncertainties with actual errors for various test sets, including liquid silicon at different temperatures and out-of-training-domain data such as solid phases with and without point defects as well as surfaces. These studies reveal that the predicted uncertainties are often overconfident. This is ascribed to the insufficient diversity in the members of the ensemble, as measured via error correlations.
