Machine-learned force fields have transformed the atomistic modelling of materials by enabling simulations of ab initio quality on unprecedented time and length scales. However, they are currently limited by: (i) the significant computational and human effort that must go into development and validation of potentials for each particular system of interest; and (ii) a general lack of transferability from one chemical system to the next. Here, using the state-of-the-art MACE architecture we introduce a single general-purpose ML model, trained on a public database of 150k inorganic crystals, that is capable of running stable molecular dynamics on molecules and materials. We demonstrate the power of the MACE-MP-0 model - and its qualitative and at times quantitative accuracy - on a diverse set problems in the physical sciences, including the properties of solids, liquids, gases, chemical reactions, interfaces and even the dynamics of a small protein. The model can be applied out of the box and as a starting or "foundation model" for any atomistic system of interest and is thus a step towards democratising the revolution of ML force fields by lowering the barriers to entry.

In physics, density $\rho(\cdot)$ is a fundamentally important scalar function to model, since it describes a scalar field or a probability density function that governs a physical process. Modeling $\rho(\cdot)$ typically scales poorly with parameter space, however, and quickly becomes prohibitively difficult and computationally expensive. One promising avenue to bypass this is to leverage the capabilities of denoising diffusion models often used in high-fidelity image generation to parameterize $\rho(\cdot)$ from existing scientific data, from which new samples can be trivially sampled from. In this paper, we propose $\rho$-Diffusion, an implementation of denoising diffusion probabilistic models for multidimensional density estimation in physics, which is currently in active development and, from our results, performs well on physically motivated 2D and 3D density functions. Moreover, we propose a novel hashing technique that allows $\rho$-Diffusion to be conditioned by arbitrary amounts of physical parameters of interest.

Materials characterization remains a labor-intensive process, with a large amount of expert time required to post-process and analyze micrographs. As a result, machine learning has become an essential tool in materials science, including for materials characterization. In this study, we perform an in-depth analysis of the prediction of crystal coverage in WSe$_2$ thin film atomic force microscopy (AFM) height maps with supervised regression and segmentation models. Regression models were trained from scratch and through transfer learning from a ResNet pretrained on ImageNet and MicroNet to predict monolayer crystal coverage. Models trained from scratch outperformed those using features extracted from pretrained models, but fine-tuning yielded the best performance, with an impressive 0.99 $R^2$ value on a diverse set of held-out test micrographs. Notably, features extracted from MicroNet showed significantly better performance than those from ImageNet, but fine-tuning on ImageNet demonstrated the reverse. As the problem is natively a segmentation task, the segmentation models excelled in determining crystal coverage on image patches. However, when applied to full images rather than patches, the performance of segmentation models degraded considerably, while the regressors did not, suggesting that regression models may be more robust to scale and dimension changes compared to segmentation models. Our results demonstrate the efficacy of computer vision models for automating sample characterization in 2D materials while providing important practical considerations for their use in the development of chalcogenide thin films.

The unique biosignature of life on Earth is the homochirality of organic compounds such as amino acids, proteins, and sugars. The origin of this homochirality has remained a mystery for over a century. While high-energy spin-polarized (spin-up or spin-down) electrons (SPEs) from the $\beta$ decay of radioactive nuclei discovered by Lee and Yang (1956) and Wu et al. (1957) have been proposed as a potential source of symmetry breaking, their exact role on homochirality is much debated. Here we suggest magnetically aligned dust grains as a new source of SPEs due to photoemission of electrons having aligned spins by the Barnett effect. For the interstellar UV radiation field of strength $G_{\rm UV}$, we found that the SPE emission rate is $\Gamma_{\rm pe}^{\rm SPE}\sim 10^{-14}G_{\rm UV}$ electrons per second per H, the fraction of spin-polarized to total photoelectrons is $\sim 10\%$, and the SPE yield (photoelectron number per UV photon) can reach $\sim 1\%$, using the modern theory of grain alignment. Low-energy SPEs from aligned grains would cause chiral symmetry breaking of interstellar chiral molecules due to spin-selective (dipole-dipole) interactions. Finally, we suggest magnetically aligned grains as chiral agents that facilitate and enrich the chiral asymmetry of chiral molecules. Our proposed mechanism might explain the detection of chiral asymmetry in the ISM, comets, and meteorites due to the ubiquitous UV radiation and magnetically aligned grains, paving the way for understanding the origin and distribution of life in the universe. This mechanism based on magnetic grain alignment implies the role of magnetic fields on chirality symmetry breaking.

Agricultural production heavily exploits the soil, resulting in high erosion in cultivated land, which poses a threat to food security and environmental sustainability. To address this issue, we stabilize the soil using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). PVA strongly adheres to the soil after mixing and annealing, enhancing the cohesive strength of the soil. The PVA-soil withstands the impact of water at 7 m/s, protecting it from rainfall-induced erosion. Furthermore, the water-retaining capability and drainage of PVA-soil can be adjusted based on its sizes. This customized PVA-soil provides optimal growing conditions for various plants in different climates. Our method contributes to improved soil management and conversion.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to develop a new type of soil substitute made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and red soil, which maintains its discrete particle form during the drying process, indicating its inertness to water. The authors seek to improve upon the previous state of art in soil substitutes by creating a material that can mimic the drainage properties of natural soil.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted several experiments to evaluate the drainage properties of the PVA-red soil and compare it to untreated red soil. They tested the soil's ability to maintain its discrete particle form during drying, observed its cracking behavior under further drying, and evaluated its drainage properties through water impact and reciprocal shaking tests. Additionally, they demonstrated the excellent performance of PVA-soil as a planting substrate by cultivating various plants in it.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures S14 and S15 are referenced the most frequently in the text, as they demonstrate the drainage properties of the PVA-red soil and compare it to untreated red soil. Table 1 is also referred to frequently, as it presents the composition of the PVA-red soil.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference "Hung et al. (2017)" was cited the most frequently in the paper, primarily in the context of discussing the previous state of art in soil substitutes and the potential of PVA-red soil to improve upon it.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper presents a novel approach to creating a soil substitute that can mimic the drainage properties of natural soil, which is essential for plant growth. The use of PVA as a binder provides an inert material that can maintain its discrete particle form during drying, reducing the risk of waterlogging and improving plant growth. This could potentially lead to more efficient and sustainable agricultural practices.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness of the paper is that it only evaluates the drainage properties of PVA-red soil under controlled laboratory conditions. It would be interesting to see how well this material performs in real-world agricultural settings, where it may be exposed to a wider range of environmental factors. Additionally, more research could be conducted on the long-term durability and stability of PVA-red soil.

Classical empirical force fields have dominated biomolecular simulation for over 50 years. Although widely used in drug discovery, crystal structure prediction, and biomolecular dynamics, they generally lack the accuracy and transferability required for predictive modelling. In this paper, we introduce MACE-OFF23, a transferable force field for organic molecules created using state-of-the-art machine learning technology and first-principles reference data computed with a high level of quantum mechanical theory. MACE-OFF23 demonstrates the remarkable capabilities of local, short-range models by accurately predicting a wide variety of gas and condensed phase properties of molecular systems. It produces accurate, easy-to-converge dihedral torsion scans of unseen molecules, as well as reliable descriptions of molecular crystals and liquids, including quantum nuclear effects. We further demonstrate the capabilities of MACE-OFF23 by determining free energy surfaces in explicit solvent, as well as the folding dynamics of peptides. Finally, we simulate a fully solvated small protein, observing accurate secondary structure and vibrational spectrum. These developments enable first-principles simulations of molecular systems for the broader chemistry community at high accuracy and low computational cost.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The authors aim to improve the accuracy of molecular crystal structure predictions using a machine learning model, MACE-OFF23(L), by comparing its predicted lattice constants with experimental values for a set of molecular crystals. They seek to assess the potential of MACE-OFF23(L) as a tool for accurately predicting the structures of molecular crystals purely trained on molecular dimers.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: According to the authors, the previous state of the art in molecular crystal structure prediction using machine learning models involved training on larger and more diverse datasets, but still resulted in limited improvement in accuracy. The present work builds upon these efforts by demonstrating that a model trained solely on molecular dimers can produce accurate predictions of lattice constants for a range of molecular crystals.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted a series of experiments to evaluate the accuracy of MACE-OFF23(L) in predicting the lattice constants of molecular crystals.

A: The authors argue that their work has the potential to significantly improve the accuracy of molecular crystal structure predictions, which is an important task in materials science and chemistry. By demonstrating that a model trained solely on molecular dimers can produce accurate predictions of lattice constants for a range of molecular crystals, they provide evidence that machine learning models can be effective tools for predicting the structures of complex molecular systems.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper?

Astrochemistry has been widely developed as a power tool to probe physical properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) in various conditions of the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy, and in near and distant galaxies. Most current studies conventionally apply linear scaling to all elemental abundances based on the gas-phase metallicity. However, these elements, including carbon and oxygen, are enriched differentially by stellar nucleosynthesis and the overall galactic chemical evolution, evident from $\alpha$-enhancement in multiple galactic observations such as starbursts, high-redshift star-forming galaxies, and low-metallicity dwarfs. We perform astrochemical modeling to simulate the impact of an $\alpha$-enhanced ISM gas cloud on the abundances of the three phases of carbon (C$^+$, C, CO) dubbed as `the carbon cycle'. The ISM environmental parameters considered include two cosmic-ray ionization rates ($\zeta_{\rm CR}=10^{-17}$ and $10^{-15}\,{\rm s}^{-1}$), two isotropic FUV radiation field strengths ($\chi/\chi_0=1$ and $10^2$), and (sub-)linear dust-to-gas relations against metallicity, mimicking the ISM conditions of different galaxy types. In galaxies with [C/O] $<$ 0, CO, C and C$^+$ all decrease in both abundances and emission, though with differential biases. The low-$J$ CO emission is found to be the most stable tracer for the molecular gas, while C and C$^+$ trace H$_2$ gas only under limited conditions, in line with recent discoveries of [CI]-dark galaxies. We call for caution when using [CII]~$158\mu$m and [CI](1-0) as alternative H$_2$-gas tracers for both diffuse and dense gas with non-zero [C/O] ratios.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The authors aim to investigate the impact of cosmic-ray ionization on the abundance ratios of carbon species (C+, C, and CO) in a molecular cloud environment. They seek to explore how the ionization rate affects these abundance ratios and how they can be used to infer the cosmic-ray ionization rate in extragalactic star-forming systems.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art in understanding the impact of cosmic-ray ionization on carbon species abundance ratios was based on simulations that assumed a constant ionization rate for all species (Bisbas et al. 2021, 2023). This paper improves upon this by using a more realistic model that accounts for the variation in ionization rates among different species and the impact of varying environmental conditions.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors performed simulations using the RADEX code to explore the impact of cosmic-ray ionization on C+, C, and CO abundance ratios as a function of the ionization rate and other environmental parameters such as temperature, density, and humidity. They also compared their results with observational data from the literature.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures A1 and B1 and Table 2 are referenced the most frequently in the text. Figure A1 shows the impact of cosmic-ray ionization on the abundance ratios of C+, C, and CO as a function of the ionization rate and other environmental parameters. Figure B1 explores how these ratios change when the molecular gas is defined as the gas with 𝑥HI ≥0.45. Table 2 presents the results of the RADEX simulations.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference Bisbas et al. (2021, 2023) is cited the most frequently in the paper. It provides the basis for understanding the impact of cosmic-ray ionization on carbon species abundance ratios and serves as a comparison to the authors' results.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper could have significant implications for understanding the interplay between cosmic-rays and the ISM in star-forming systems. By demonstrating that the abundance ratios of carbon species can be used to infer the cosmic-ray ionization rate, this study could provide a valuable tool for studying extragalactic environments.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness is that the simulations assume a certain level of accuracy in the input parameters, which may not always be the case in reality. Additionally, the study focuses solely on C+, C, and CO abundance ratios and does not explore other potential tracers of cosmic-ray ionization.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have demonstrated promising performance across various chemistry-related tasks. However, conventional graphs only model the pairwise connectivity in molecules, failing to adequately represent higher-order connections like multi-center bonds and conjugated structures. To tackle this challenge, we introduce molecular hypergraphs and propose Molecular Hypergraph Neural Networks (MHNN) to predict the optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductors, where hyperedges represent conjugated structures. A general algorithm is designed for irregular high-order connections, which can efficiently operate on molecular hypergraphs with hyperedges of various orders. The results show that MHNN outperforms all baseline models on most tasks of OPV, OCELOTv1 and PCQM4Mv2 datasets. Notably, MHNN achieves this without any 3D geometric information, surpassing the baseline model that utilizes atom positions. Moreover, MHNN achieves better performance than pretrained GNNs under limited training data, underscoring its excellent data efficiency. This work provides a new strategy for more general molecular representations and property prediction tasks related to high-order connections.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to address the challenge of graph neural network (GNN) representation learning, which suffers from over-smoothing due to the lack of attention to individual nodes.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: Previous works used self-attention mechanisms to address over-smoothing in GNNs, but these mechanisms were limited by their reliance on local node features and neglected the importance of global information. The proposed method, Graph Attention Networks (GAT), introduces a learnable attention mechanism that can focus on different parts of the graph simultaneously, leading to improved performance.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: GAT is evaluated on several benchmark datasets for node classification tasks. The authors conduct ablation studies to analyze the effectiveness of various components of the GAT model.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figure 1 illustrates the architecture of GAT, while Table 1 provides an overview of the baseline models compared to GAT. These two figures are the most frequently referenced in the text.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The paper heavily cites the works on GNNs and self-attention mechanisms, such as Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) and Attention is All You Need (AIGN). These references are cited to provide context for the proposed method and to demonstrate its novelty.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper addresses a fundamental problem in GNN representation learning, leading to improved performance on node classification tasks. The attention mechanism introduced in GAT allows the model to focus on different parts of the graph simultaneously, enabling it to capture both local and global information.

Solid polymer electrolytes hold significant promise as materials for next-generation batteries due to their superior safety performance, enhanced specific energy, and extended lifespans compared to liquid electrolytes. However, the material's low ionic conductivity impedes its commercialization, and the vast polymer space poses significant challenges for the screening and design. In this study, we assess the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (AI) for the de novo design of polymer electrolytes. To optimize the generation, we compare different deep learning architectures, including both GPT-based and diffusion-based models, and benchmark the results with hyperparameter tuning. We further employ various evaluation metrics and full-atom molecular dynamics simulations to assess the performance of different generative model architectures and to validate the top candidates produced by each model. Out of only 45 candidates being tested, we discovered 17 polymers that achieve superior ionic conductivity better than any other polymers in our database, with some of them doubling the conductivity value. In addition, by adopting a pretraining and fine-tuning methodology, we significantly improve the efficacy of our generative models, achieving quicker convergence, enhanced performance with limited data, and greater diversity. Using the proposed method, we can easily generate a large number of novel, diverse, and valid polymers, with a chance of synthesizability, enabling us to identify promising candidates with markedly improved efficiency.

Particle tracking is commonly used to study time-dependent behavior in many different types of physical and chemical systems involving constituents that span many length scales, including atoms, molecules, nanoparticles, granular particles, etc. Behaviors of interest studied using particle tracking information include disorder-order transitions, thermodynamic phase transitions, structural transitions, protein folding, crystallization, gelation, swarming, avalanches and fracture. A common challenge in studies of these systems involves change detection. Change point detection discerns when a temporal signal undergoes a change in distribution. These changes can be local or global, instantaneous or prolonged, obvious or subtle. Moreover, system-wide changes marking an interesting physical or chemical phenomenon (e.g. crystallization) are often preceded by events (e.g. pre-nucleation clusters) that are localized and can occur anywhere at anytime in the system. For these reasons, detecting events in particle trajectories generated by molecular simulation is challenging and typically accomplished via ad hoc solutions unique to the behavior and system under study. Consequently, methods for event detection lack generality, and those used in one field are not easily used by scientists in other fields. Here we present a new Python-based tool, dupin, that allows for event detection from particle trajectory data irrespective of the system details. dupin works by creating a signal representing the simulation and partitioning the signal based on events (changes within the trajectory). This approach allows for studies where manual annotating of event boundaries would require a prohibitive amount of time. Furthermore, dupin can serve as a tool in automated and reproducible workflows. We demonstrate the application of dupin using two examples and discuss its applicability to a wider class of problems.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?

A: The previous state of the art in change-point detection was the Bayesian Change-Point (BCP) model, which is a popular method for detecting changes in the mean of a time series. However, the BCP model assumes stationarity, which can be a limitation when dealing with non-stationary data. The proposed method in this paper, XSEDE, improves upon the BCP model by handling non-stationary data and providing more accurate results.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted several experiments to evaluate the performance of XSEDE compared to other state-of-the-art change-point detection methods. They used real-world time series datasets and compared the results obtained using XSEDE with those obtained using the BCP model and other methods.

From protein motifs to black holes, topological solitons are pervasive nonlinear excitations that are robust and that can be driven by external fields. So far, existing driving mechanisms all accelerate solitons and antisolitons towards opposite directions. Here we introduce a local driving mechanism for solitons that accelerates both solitons and antisolitons in the same direction instead: non-reciprocal driving. To realize this mechanism, we construct an active mechanical metamaterial consisting of non-reciprocally coupled oscillators subject to a bistable potential. We find that such nonlinearity coaxes non-reciprocal excitations -- so-called non-Hermitian skin waves, which are typically unstable -- into robust oneway (anti)solitons. We rationalize our observations by introducing non-reciprocal generalizations of the Frenkel-Kontorova and sine-Gordon models, and use the latter to predict the terminal velocity of the (anti)solitons and determine their stability. Finally, we harness non-reciprocal topological solitons by constructing an active waveguide capable of transmitting and filtering unidirectional information. More broadly, our findings suggest that non-reciprocal driving is a robust mechanism to steer nonlinear waves and could be generalized beyond mechanics, e.g. quantum mechanics, optics and soft matter.

The variability in the magnetic activity of the Sun is the main source of the observed changes in the plasma and electromagnetic environments within the heliosphere. The primary way in which solar activity affects the Earth's environment is via the solar wind and its transients. However, the relationship between solar activity and solar wind is not the same at the Space Weather and Space Climate time scales. In this work, we investigate this relationship exploiting five solar cycles data of Ca II K index and solar wind parameters, by taking advantage of the Hilbert-Huang Transform, which allows to separate the contribution at the different time scales. By filtering out the high frequency components and looking at decennial time scales, we confirm the presence of a delayed response of solar wind to Ca II K index variations, with a time lag of ~ 3.1-year for the speed and ~ 3.4-year for the dynamic pressure. To assess the results in a stronger framework, we make use of a Transfer Entropy approach to investigate the information flow between the quantities and to test the causality of the relation. The time lag results from the latter are consistent with the cross-correlation ones, pointing out the presence of a statistical significant information flow from Ca II K index to solar wind dynamic pressure that peaks at time lag of 3.6-year. Such a result could be of relevance to build up a predictive model in a Space Climate context.

We introduce a novel technique within the Nested Sampling framework to enhance efficiency of the computation of Bayesian evidence, a critical component in scientific data analysis. In higher dimensions, Nested Sampling relies on Markov Chain-based likelihood-constrained prior samplers, which generate numerous 'phantom points' during parameter space exploration. These points are too auto-correlated to be used in the standard Nested Sampling scheme and so are conventionally discarded, leading to waste. Our approach discovers a way to integrate these phantom points into the evidence calculation, thereby improving the efficiency of Nested Sampling without sacrificing accuracy. This is achieved by ensuring the points within the live set remain asymptotically i.i.d. uniformly distributed, allowing these points to contribute meaningfully to the final evidence estimation. We apply our method on several models, demonstrating substantial enhancements in sampling efficiency, that scales well in high-dimension. Our findings suggest that this approach can reduce the number of required likelihood evaluations by at least a factor of 5. This advancement holds considerable promise for improving the robustness and speed of statistical analyses over a wide range of fields, from astrophysics and cosmology to climate modelling.

The many-body Green's function provides access to electronic properties beyond density functional theory level in ab inito calculations. In this manuscript, we propose a deep learning framework for predicting the finite-temperature Green's function in atomic orbital space, aiming to achieve a balance between accuracy and efficiency. By predicting the self-energy matrices in Lehmann representation using an equivariant message passing neural network, our method respects its analytical property and the $E(3)$ equivariance. The Green's function is obtained from the predicted self-energy through Dyson equation with target total number of electrons. We present proof-of-concept benchmark results for both molecules and simple periodic systems, showing that our method is able to provide accurate estimate of physical observables such as energy and density of states based on the predicted Green's function.

Geometric deep learning models, which incorporate the relevant molecular symmetries within the neural network architecture, have considerably improved the accuracy and data efficiency of predictions of molecular properties. Building on this success, we introduce 3DReact, a geometric deep learning model to predict reaction properties from three-dimensional structures of reactants and products. We demonstrate that the invariant version of the model is sufficient for existing reaction datasets. We illustrate its competitive performance on the prediction of activation barriers on the GDB7-22-TS, Cyclo-23-TS and Proparg-21-TS datasets in different atom-mapping regimes. We show that, compared to existing models for reaction property prediction, 3DReact offers a flexible framework that exploits atom-mapping information, if available, as well as geometries of reactants and products (in an invariant or equivariant fashion). Accordingly, it performs systematically well across different datasets, atom-mapping regimes, as well as both interpolation and extrapolation tasks.

The ability to rapidly develop materials with desired properties has a transformative impact on a broad range of emerging technologies. In this work, we introduce a new framework based on the diffusion model, a recent generative machine learning method to predict 3D structures of disordered materials from a target property. For demonstration, we apply the model to identify the atomic structures of amorphous carbons ($a$-C) as a representative material system from the target X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra--a common experimental technique to probe atomic structures of materials. We show that conditional generation guided by XANES spectra reproduces key features of the target structures. Furthermore, we show that our model can steer the generative process to tailor atomic arrangements for a specific XANES spectrum. Finally, our generative model exhibits a remarkable scale-agnostic property, thereby enabling generation of realistic, large-scale structures through learning from a small-scale dataset (i.e., with small unit cells). Our work represents a significant stride in bridging the gap between materials characterization and atomic structure determination; in addition, it can be leveraged for materials discovery in exploring various material properties as targeted.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to develop a novel approach for generating amorphous structures with specific XANES spectra using graph neural networks. The authors seek to overcome the limitations of traditional density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which often struggle to accurately predict XANES spectra for amorphous materials.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: Prior to this work, XANES spectroscopy predictions for amorphous structures were primarily performed using DFT calculations. However, these calculations often produce inaccurate results due to the complexity of the XANES spectrum. The current paper introduces a novel approach that leverages graph neural networks to predict local XANES spectra, which are then cumulatively summed to generate the global XANES spectrum. This approach improves upon traditional DFT calculations by providing more accurate predictions of XANES spectra for amorphous materials.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors propose a novel approach for generating amorphous structures with specific XANES spectra using graph neural networks. They also validate their method through experiments on real-world materials, including diamond and water.
Q: Which figures and tables were referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1, 2, and 4, and Table 1 are referenced the most frequently in the text. Figure 1 provides a schematic of the forward model, which is the basis of the authors' approach. Figure 2 shows the spectroscopy of two distinct structures with a density of 1.5 g/cm3, demonstrating the impact of different topologies on the XANES spectrum. Figure 4 illustrates the generation process, highlighting the conditional denoising trajectory and default denoising trajectory. Table 1 provides coordination number ratios of amorphous carbon structures generated through conditional generation based on the spectroscopies in Figure 2.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference [1] by Shirley et al. is cited the most frequently in the paper, as it provides a theoretical framework for understanding the XANES spectra of amorphous materials. The authors also cite [56] by Lopata et al., which provides experimental validation of the linear-response and real-time time-dependent density functional theory studies of core-level near-edge X-ray absorption.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper could have significant implications for the field of materials science, as it provides a novel approach for predicting XANES spectra of amorphous materials. This could enable researchers to design and synthesize materials with specific XANES spectra, which is critical for understanding their properties and behavior. Additionally, the approach proposed in this paper could be applied to other types of materials, such as biological samples, where XANES spectroscopy has important applications.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness of the paper is that it relies on DFT calculations for generating the local XANES spectra, which may not be entirely accurate. Additionally, the authors note that their approach assumes a linear relationship between the chemical environment and the XANES spectrum, which may not always be the case.

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can measure neural activity through blood oxygenation changes in the brain in a wearable form factor, enabling unique applications for research in and outside the lab. NIRS has proven capable of measuring cognitive states such as mental workload, often using machine learning (ML) based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). To date, NIRS research has largely relied on probes with under ten to several hundred channels, although recently a new class of wearable NIRS devices with thousands of channels has emerged. This poses unique challenges for ML classification, as NIRS is typically limited by few training trials which results in severely under-determined estimation problems. So far, it is not well understood how such high-resolution data is best leveraged in practical BCIs and whether state-of-the-art (SotA) or better performance can be achieved. To address these questions, we propose an ML strategy to classify working-memory load that relies on spatio-temporal regularization and transfer learning from other subjects in a combination that has not been used in previous NIRS BCIs. The approach can be interpreted as an end-to-end generalized linear model and allows for a high degree of interpretability using channel-level or cortical imaging approaches. We show that using the proposed methodology, it is possible to achieve SotA decoding performance with high-resolution NIRS data. We also replicated several SotA approaches on our dataset of 43 participants wearing a 3198 dual-channel NIRS device while performing the n-Back task and show that these existing methods struggle in the high-channel regime and are largely outperformed by the proposed method. Our approach helps establish high-channel NIRS devices as a viable platform for SotA BCI and opens new applications using this class of headset while also enabling high-resolution model imaging and interpretation.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to compare different source localization techniques in diffuse optical tomography (DOT) for functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) applications using a realistic head model.
