Content¶
This week, we will dive into the world of machine learning potentials (MLPs). We will start from why we need MLPs, and then introduce different types of MLPs. Next we will go a bit deeper into the Behler-Parrinello and Multi-Atomic Cluster Expansion (MACE) potentials. We will then introduce the universal MLPs and how to compare their performance. In addition, we will briefly cover the training and validation process of MLPs. Finally, we will discuss the challenges of the current field.
