ALIGNN is a graph neural network architecture that explicitly and efficiently includes bond angle information in atomistic prediction tasks, leading to improved performance. The model performs well on multiple atomistic prediction tasks and has a competitive advantage in terms of speed.
Graph neural networks (GNN) have been shown to provide substantial performance improvements for atomistic material representation and modeling compared with descriptor-based machine learning models. While most existing GNN models for atomistic predictions are based on atomic distance information, they do not explicitly incorporate bond angles, which are critical for distinguishing many atomic structures. Furthermore, many material properties are known to be sensitive to slight changes in bond angles. We present an Atomistic Line Graph Neural Network (ALIGNN), a GNN architecture that performs message passing on both the interatomic bond graph and its line graph corresponding to bond angles. We demonstrate that angle information can be explicitly and efficiently included, leading to improved performance on multiple atomistic prediction tasks. We ALIGNN models for predicting 52 solid-state and molecular properties available in the JARVIS-DFT, Materials project, and QM9 databases. ALIGNN can outperform some previously reported GNN models on atomistic prediction tasks by up to 85% in accuracy with better or comparable model training speed.

Million-scale data integrated deep neural network for phonon properties of heuslers spanning the periodic table

Alejandro Rodriguez, Changpeng Lin, Hongao Yang, Mohammed Al-Fahdi, Chen Shen, Kamal Choudhary, Yong Zhao, Jianjun Hu, Bingyang Cao, Hongbin Zhang, Ming Hu

Summary: Existing machine learning methods for predicting phonon properties of crystals are limited due to the complexity scaling with the number of atomic species. In this study, we address this issue by developing the Elemental Spatial Density Neural Network Force Field (Elemental-SDNNFF) and demonstrate its effectiveness on predicting phonon properties of various Heusler structures. We also gain insights into the ultralow lattice thermal conductivity and discover double Weyl points in different Heusler structures.

A critical examination of robustness and generalizability of machine learning prediction of materials properties

Kangming Li, Brian DeCost, Kamal Choudhary, Michael Greenwood, Jason Hattrick-Simpers

Summary: Recent advances in machine learning have improved performance in material database benchmarks, but good benchmark scores may not guarantee good generalization performance. ML models trained on earlier data can have degraded performance on new compounds due to distribution shift. Simple tools like UMAP and disagreement analysis between ML models can help foresee this issue. Strategies guided by UMAP and query by committee can significantly improve prediction accuracy with minimal additional test data. This work provides valuable insights for building robust and generalizable databases and models.

An AI-driven microstructure optimization framework for elastic properties of titanium beyond cubic crystal systems

Yuwei Mao, Mahmudul Hasan, Arindam Paul, Vishu Gupta, Kamal Choudhary, Francesca Tavazza, Wei-keng Liao, Alok Choudhary, Pinar Acar, Ankit Agrawal

Summary: Materials design aims to identify material features that provide optimal properties for engineering applications. This paper proposes an AI-driven microstructure optimization framework for elastic properties of materials, which can discover multiple polycrystalline microstructures without compromising optimal property values. The framework was evaluated for Titanium in JARVIS database and is expected to be widely applicable for materials with multiple crystal systems.

Fast and accurate prediction of material properties with three-body tight-binding model for the periodic table

Kevin F. Garrity, Kamal Choudhary

Summary: Parametrized tight-binding models can efficiently and accurately predict properties of molecules and solids, but limited availability of well-tested parameter sets hinders routine use. To overcome this, a density functional theory database of nearly 1,000,000 materials is developed to fit a universal set of tight-binding parameters for 65 elements and their binary combinations, including two-body and three-body effective interaction terms. The model allows for metallic, covalent, and ionic bonds with the same parameter set and is continuously improved using a learning framework.
