    Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) approaches that combine a tree search with deep learning have found remarkable success in searching exorbitantly large, albeit discrete action spaces, as in chess, Shogi and Go. Many real-world materials discovery and design applications, however, involve multi-dimensional search problems and learning domains that have continuous action spaces. Exploring high-dimensional potential energy models of materials is an example. Traditionally, these searches are time consuming (often several years for a single bulk system) and driven by human intuition and/or expertise and more recently by global/local optimization searches that have issues with convergence and/or do not scale well with the search dimensionality. Here, in a departure from discrete action and other gradient-based approaches, we introduce a RL strategy based on decision trees that incorporates modified rewards for improved exploration, efficient sampling during playouts and a “window scaling scheme" for enhanced exploitation, to enable efficient and scalable search for continuous action space problems. Using high-dimensional artificial landscapes and control RL problems, we successfully benchmark our approach against popular global optimization schemes and state of the art policy gradient methods, respectively. We demonstrate its efficacy to parameterize potential models (physics based and high-dimensional neural networks) for 54 different elemental systems across the periodic table as well as alloys. We analyze error trends across different elements in the latent space and trace their origin to elemental structural diversity and the smoothness of the element energy surface. Broadly, our RL strategy will be applicable to many other physical science problems involving search over continuous action spaces.

    Abstract: Material properties share an intrinsic relationship with their structural attributes, making inverse design approaches crucial for discovering new materials with desired functionalities. Reinforcement Learning (RL) approaches are emerging as powerful inverse design tools, often functioning in discrete action spaces. This constrains their application in materials design problems, which involve continuous search spaces. Here, we introduce an RL-based framework CASTING (Continuous Action Space Tree Search for inverse design), that employs a decision tree-based Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm with continuous space adaptation through modified policies and sampling. Using representative examples like Silver (Ag) for metals, Carbon (C) for covalent systems, and multicomponent systems such as graphane, boron nitride, and complex correlated oxides, we showcase its accuracy, convergence speed, and scalability in materials discovery and design. Furthermore, with the inverse design of super-hard Carbon phases, we demonstrate CASTING’s utility in discovering metastable phases tailored to user-defined target properties and preferences.

    Abstract: We introduce Crystal Edge Graph Attention Neural Network (CEGANN) workflow that uses graph attention-based architecture to learn unique feature representations and perform classification of materials across multiple scales (from atomic to mesoscale) and diverse classes ranging from metals, oxides, non-metals to hierarchical materials such as zeolites and semi-ordered mesophases. CEGANN can classify based on a global, structure-level representation such as space group and dimensionality (e.g., bulk, 2D, clusters, etc.). Using representative materials such as polycrystals and zeolites, we demonstrate its transferability in performing local atom-level classification tasks, such as grain boundary identification and other heterointerfaces. CEGANN classifies in (thermal) noisy dynamical environments as demonstrated for representative zeolite nucleation and growth from an amorphous mixture. Finally, we use CEGANN to classify multicomponent systems with thermal noise and compositional diversity. Overall, our approach is material agnostic and allows for multiscale feature classification ranging from atomic-scale crystals to heterointerfaces to microscale grain boundaries.

    Abstract: The main goal of molecular simulation is to accurately predict experimental observables of molecular systems. Another long-standing goal is to devise models for arbitrary neutral organic molecules with little or no reliance on experimental data. While separately these goals have been met to various degrees, for an arbitrary system of molecules they have not been achieved simultaneously. For biophysical ensembles that exist at room temperature and pressure, and where the entropic contributions are on par with interaction strengths, it is the free energies that are both most important and most difficult to predict. We compute the free energies of solvation for a diverse set of neutral organic compounds using a polarizable force field fitted entirely to ab initio calculations. The mean absolute errors (MAE) of hydration, cyclohexane solvation, and corresponding partition coefficients are 0.2 kcal/mol, 0.3 kcal/mol and 0.22 log units, i.e . within chemical accuracy. The model (ARROW FF) is multipolar, polarizable, and its accompanying simulation stack includes nuclear quantum effects (NQE). The simulation tools’ computational efficiency is on a par with current state-of-the-art packages. The construction of a wide-coverage molecular modelling toolset from first principles, together with its excellent predictive ability in the liquid phase is a major advance in biomolecular simulation.
