Meet autoplex – our approach to automated ML potential fitting, built jointly with @molecularxtal.bsky.social & team in Berlin! In this preprint, we focus on exploring structures and training potential models "from scratch" with the help of automated workflows: arxiv.org/abs/2412.16736
An automated framework for exploring and learning potential-energy surfaces
Machine learning has become ubiquitous in materials modelling and now routinely enables large-scale atomistic simulations with quantum-mechanical accuracy. However, developing machine-learned interato...
