They can't be sure that there's a limit to what AI can do. […]
by Gábor Csányi Director Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) I will report on our latest efforts to create universally applicable machine learning force fields using the MACE architecture. Large publicly available databases (such as OMAT and OMOL) and large scale GPU compute allow the construction of force field models that cover […]
