Abstract:
Machine learning models are changing the paradigm of molecular modeling. Of particular interest is the inter-atomic potential energy surface (PES). In this talk, I would introduce deep learning-based PES models that we recently developed [1-3]. I would focus on how to construct a PES model that is end-to-end, accurate, and scalable, and preserves all the natural symmetries. Further, I would show the performance of these models when describing finite and extended systems including organic molecules, metals, semiconductors, and insulators. The corresponding open-source software [4] is efficiently parallelized and interfaced with popular machine learning and molecular dynamics packages.
