Article Synopsis
  • Structural diversification is crucial in drug discovery to explore different chemical compounds, and late-stage functionalizations (LSFs) allow for the addition of functional groups to complex molecules in one step.
  • Efforts to predict the regioselectivity of LSFs have faced challenges due to the complexity and variety of products generated, limiting the data available for machine learning approaches.
  • The authors developed a new model that combines a message passing neural network with C NMR-based transfer learning, demonstrating improved accuracy in predicting the outcomes of Minisci-type and P450 transformations compared to traditional methods and other machine learning models.

In this work, a non-isothermal pore network (PN) model with quasi-steady vapor transport and transient heat transfer is presented for the first time for the application of primary freeze drying. The pore-scale resolved model is physically based and allows for the investigation of correlations between spatially distributed structure and transport conditions. The studied examples were regular PN lattices with a significantly different structure, namely a spatially homogeneous PN, also denoted as monomodal PN, and a PN with significant structure variation, referred to as bimodal PN because of its bimodal pore size distribution.

We introduce Quantum Machine Learning (QML)-Lightning, a PyTorch package containing graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated approximate kernel models, which can yield trained models within seconds. QML-Lightning includes a cost-efficient GPU implementation of FCHL19, which together can provide energy and force predictions with competitive accuracy on a microsecond per atom timescale. Using modern GPU hardware, we report learning curves of energies and forces as well as timings as numerical evidence for select legacy benchmarks from atomistic simulation including QM9, MD-17, and 3BPA.

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding the relationship between material composition (stoichiometry), stability, structure, and properties is a key challenge in materials science.
  • Recent advancements in machine learning have improved the prediction of materials' stability and properties, but existing methods often rely on detailed atomic coordinates, which limits their effectiveness with unknown materials.
  • This research introduces a new method that uses Wyckoff representations to streamline the analysis, successfully identifying 1569 new theoretically stable materials from a reduced set of calculations, thus enhancing computational materials discovery.

Purpose: Kinetics of cardiorespiratory parameters (CRP) in response to work rate (WR) changes are evaluated by pseudo-random binary sequences (PRBS testing). In this study, two algorithms were applied to convert responses from PRBS testing into appropriate impulse responses to predict steady states values and responses to incremental increases in exercise intensity.

Methods: 13 individuals (age: 41 ± 9 years, BMI: 23.

We introduce the FCHL19 representation for atomic environments in molecules or condensed-phase systems. Machine learning models based on FCHL19 are able to yield predictions of atomic forces and energies of query compounds with chemical accuracy on the scale of milliseconds. FCHL19 is a revision of our previous work [F.

The role of response operators is well established in quantum mechanics. We investigate their use for universal quantum machine learning models of response properties in molecules. After introducing a theoretical basis, we present and discuss numerical evidence based on measuring the potential energy's response with respect to atomic displacement and to electric fields.

We introduce a representation of any atom in any chemical environment for the automatized generation of universal kernel ridge regression-based quantum machine learning (QML) models of electronic properties, trained throughout chemical compound space. The representation is based on Gaussian distribution functions, scaled by power laws and explicitly accounting for structural as well as elemental degrees of freedom. The elemental components help us to lower the QML model's learning curve, and, through interpolation across the periodic table, even enable "alchemical extrapolation" to covalent bonding between elements not part of training.

We investigate the impact of choosing regressors and molecular representations for the construction of fast machine learning (ML) models of 13 electronic ground-state properties of organic molecules. The performance of each regressor/representation/property combination is assessed using learning curves which report out-of-sample errors as a function of training set size with up to ∼118k distinct molecules. Molecular structures and properties at the hybrid density functional theory (DFT) level of theory come from the QM9 database [ Ramakrishnan et al.

Elpasolite is the predominant quaternary crystal structure (AlNaK_{2}F_{6} prototype) reported in the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. We develop a machine learning model to calculate density functional theory quality formation energies of all ∼2×10^{6} pristine ABC_{2}D_{6} elpasolite crystals that can be made up from main-group elements (up to bismuth). Our model's accuracy can be improved systematically, reaching a mean absolute error of 0.
