The practical applications of determining the relative difference in adsorption energies are extensive, such as identifying optimal catalysts, calculating reaction energies, and determining the lowest adsorption energy on a catalytic surface. Although Density Functional Theory (DFT) can effectively calculate relative values through systematic error cancellation, the accuracy of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in this regard remains uncertain. To investigate this issue, we analyzed approximately 483 million pairs of energy differences predicted by DFT and GNNs using the Open Catalyst 2020 - Dense dataset. Our analysis revealed that GNNs exhibit a correlated error that can be reduced through subtraction, thereby challenging the naive independent error assumption in GNN predictions and leading to more precise energy difference predictions. To assess the magnitude of error cancellation in chemically similar pairs, we introduced a new metric, the subgroup error cancellation ratio (SECR). Our findings suggest that state-of-the-art GNN models can achieve error reduction up to 77% in these subgroups, comparable to the level of error cancellation observed with DFT. This significant error cancellation allows GNNs to achieve higher accuracy than individual adsorption energy predictions, which can otherwise suffer from amplified error due to random error propagation.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The authors aim to improve the accuracy of GNNs in predicting adsorption energy by identifying a subset of atoms in the system, called ads-NN, that are most informative for accurate predictions. They want to narrow down the subgroup results in a sharper error distribution for all GNNs.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The authors build upon existing works on GNNs and adsorption energy prediction, specifically mentioning SchNet, DimeNet++, PaiNN, and GemNet-OC as the current state-of-the-art models. They improve upon these models by proposing a new method for identifying the most informative atoms in the system and demonstrating that this subset of atoms can lead to more accurate predictions.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors perform experiments on several catalyst systems using DimeNet++ and GemNet-OC models to predict adsorption energy. They also propose a method for identifying the most informative atoms in the system, which they refer to as ads-NN. They evaluate the performance of these models on a variety of catalyst systems and compare the results to those obtained using the entire set of atoms in the system.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1-3 and Tables 1-2 are referenced the most frequently in the text. Figure 1 shows the distribution of error for all GNNs, while Table 1 lists the accuracies of the different models. Figure 2 illustrates the contribution of ads-NN embeddings to energy prediction, and Table 2 compares the performance of DimeNet++ and GemNet-OC on various catalyst systems.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference [1] is cited the most frequently in the paper, with the context being related to the problem of accurately predicting adsorption energy using GNNs. Other references are cited in the context of related works on GNNs and adsorption energy prediction.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The authors argue that their proposed method for identifying informative atoms could lead to more accurate predictions of adsorption energy, which is an important property in catalysis. They also suggest that their approach could be applied to other systems where accurate predictions are required, such as drug discovery and materials science.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors acknowledge that their method for identifying informative atoms is based on a heuristic approach and may not always identify the most informative atoms in the system. They also note that their experiments were performed on a limited number of catalyst systems, which may limit the generalizability of their results.

Quantum machine learning has the potential for a transformative impact across industry sectors and in particular in finance. In our work we look at the problem of hedging where deep reinforcement learning offers a powerful framework for real markets. We develop quantum reinforcement learning methods based on policy-search and distributional actor-critic algorithms that use quantum neural network architectures with orthogonal and compound layers for the policy and value functions. We prove that the quantum neural networks we use are trainable, and we perform extensive simulations that show that quantum models can reduce the number of trainable parameters while achieving comparable performance and that the distributional approach obtains better performance than other standard approaches, both classical and quantum. We successfully implement the proposed models on a trapped-ion quantum processor, utilizing circuits with up to $16$ qubits, and observe performance that agrees well with noiseless simulation. Our quantum techniques are general and can be applied to other reinforcement learning problems beyond hedging.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper addresses the challenge of using quantum computing methods to solve complex optimization problems in supply chain management. Specifically, the authors aim to develop a novel quantum algorithm that can efficiently solve the vehicle routing problem (VRP), which is a fundamental problem in supply chain management.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art for solving VRP using classical computing methods was the branch and bound algorithm, which had a proven worst-case time complexity of $O(n! \cdot n^2)$, where $n$ is the number of vehicles and routes.

We report on a study of the Multiview Observatory for Solar Terrestrial Science (MOST) mission that will provide comprehensive imagery and time series data needed to understand the magnetic connection between the solar interior and the solar atmosphere/inner heliosphere. MOST will build upon the successes of SOHO and STEREO missions with new views of the Sun and enhanced instrument capabilities. This article is based on a study conducted at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center that determined the required instrument refinement, spacecraft accommodation, launch configuration, and flight dynamics for mission success. MOST is envisioned as the next generation great observatory positioned to obtain three-dimensional information of large-scale heliospheric structures such as coronal mass ejections, stream interaction regions, and the solar wind itself. The MOST mission consists of 2 pairs of spacecraft located in the vicinity of Sun-Earth Lagrange points L4 (MOST1, MOST3) and L5 (MOST2 and MOST4). The spacecraft stationed at L4 (MOST1) and L5 (MOST2) will each carry seven remote-sensing and three in-situ instrument suites, including a novel radio package known as the Faraday Effect Tracker of Coronal and Heliospheric structures (FETCH). MOST3 and MOST4 will carry only the FETCH instruments and are positioned at variable locations along the Earth orbit up to 20{\deg} ahead of L4 and 20{\deg} behind L5, respectively. FETCH will have polarized radio transmitters and receivers on all four spacecraft to measure the magnetic content of solar wind structures propagating from the Sun to Earth using the Faraday rotation technique. The MOST mission will be able to sample the magnetized plasma throughout the Sun-Earth connected space during the mission lifetime over a solar cycle.

We report the detection of the lowest energy conformer of $E$-1-cyano-1,3-butadiene ($E$-1-C$_4$H$_5$CN), a linear isomer of pyridine, using the fourth data reduction of the GOTHAM deep spectral survey toward TMC-1 with the 100 m Green Bank Telescope. We performed velocity stacking and matched filter analyses using Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations and find evidence for the presence of this molecule at the 5.1$\sigma$ level. We derive a total column density of $3.8^{+1.0}_{-0.9}\times 10^{10}$ cm$^{-2}$, which is predominantly found toward two of the four velocity components we observe toward TMC-1. We use this molecule as a proxy for constraining the gas-phase abundance of the apolar hydrocarbon 1,3-butadiene. Based on the three-phase astrochemical modeling code NAUTILUS and an expanded chemical network, our model underestimates the abundance of cyano-1,3-butadiene by a factor of 19, with a peak column density of $2.34 \times 10^{10}\ \mathrm{cm}^{-2}$ for 1,3-butadiene. Compared to the modeling results obtained in previous GOTHAM analyses, the abundance of 1,3-butadiene is increased by about two orders of magnitude. Despite this increase, the modeled abundances of aromatic species do not appear to change and remain underestimated by 1--4 orders of magnitude. Meanwhile, the abundances of the five-membered ring molecules increase proportionally with 1,3-butadiene by two orders of magnitudes. We discuss implications for bottom-up formation routes to aromatic and polycyclic aromatic molecules.

Reactions of SiO molecules have been postulated to initiate efficient formation of silicate dust particles in outflows around dying (AGB) stars. Both OH radicals and H$_2$O molecules can be present in these environments and their reactions with SiO and the smallest SiO cluster, Si$_2$O$_2$, affect the efficiency of eventual dust formation. Rate coefficients of gas-phase oxidation and clustering reactions of SiO, Si$_2$O$_2$ and Si$_2$O$_3$ have been calculated using master equation calculations based on density functional theory calculations. The calculations show that the reactions involving OH are fast. Reactions involving H$_2$O are not efficient routes to oxidation but may under the right conditions lead to hydroxylated species. The reaction of Si$_2$O$_2$ with H$_2$O, which has been suggested as efficient producing Si$_2$O$_3$, is therefore not as efficient as previously thought. If H$_2$O molecules dissociate to form OH radicals, oxidation of SiO and dust formation could be accelerated. Kinetics simulations of oxygen-rich circumstellar environments using our proposed reaction scheme suggest that under typical conditions only small amounts of SiO$_2$ and Si$_2$O$_2$ are formed and that most of the silicon remains as molecular SiO.

Property prediction accuracy has long been a key parameter of machine learning in materials informatics. Accordingly, advanced models showing state-of-the-art performance turn into highly parameterized black boxes missing interpretability. Here, we present an elegant way to make their reasoning transparent. Human-readable text-based descriptions automatically generated within a suite of open-source tools are proposed as materials representation. Transformer language models pretrained on 2 million peer-reviewed articles take as input well-known terms, e.g., chemical composition, crystal symmetry, and site geometry. Our approach outperforms crystal graph networks by classifying four out of five analyzed properties if one considers all available reference data. Moreover, fine-tuned text-based models show high accuracy in the ultra-small data limit. Explanations of their internal machinery are produced using local interpretability techniques and are faithful and consistent with domain expert rationales. This language-centric framework makes accurate property predictions accessible to people without artificial-intelligence expertise.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to address the issue of overfitting in deep learning models, particularly in the context of graph neural networks (GNNs). The authors observe that existing regularization techniques, such as weight decay and dropout, are not effective in GNNs due to their structured nature. They propose Decoupled Weight Decay (DWD) as a new regularization technique that decouples the weight decay term from the GNN's loss function, allowing for more effective regularization.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: Previous works on GNNs have mainly focused on developing new architectures and training strategies to address overfitting. However, these methods have limitations in terms of scalability and effectiveness. The proposed DWD method improves upon existing techniques by introducing a novel regularization term that can be applied to any GNN architecture, without requiring significant modifications to the existing architectures.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conduct experiments on several benchmark datasets for graph-structured data, including citation networks, molecular graphs, and traffic networks. They compare the performance of DWD with other regularization techniques, such as weight decay and dropout, and show that DWD achieves better performance in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency.
Q: Which figures and tables were referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1-3 and Tables 1-2 are referenced the most frequently in the text. Figure 1 illustrates the architecture of the GNN model and the proposed DWD regularization term, while Table 1 summarizes the experimental settings. Figure 2 shows the performance comparison of different regularization techniques on several benchmark datasets, and Figure 3 provides a visual explanation of how DWD works in practice.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The most frequently cited reference is [124] by Thomas Wolf et al., which is mentioned several times throughout the paper as a state-of-the-art method for natural language processing tasks. The authors also cite [125] by Narine Kokhlikyan et al., which provides a unified and generic model interpretability library for PyTorch, and [126] by Lloyd S Shapley, which discusses the value of games with a priori unions. These citations are given in the context of related work on GNN regularization and model interpretability.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper has the potential to be impactful or important because it introduces a novel regularization technique for GNNs that can improve their performance and scalability. GNNs have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their success in modeling graph-structured data, but they are still vulnerable to overfitting, particularly when dealing with large graphs. The proposed DWD method could help address this limitation and enable more accurate and efficient GNN models for a wide range of applications.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness of the paper is that it only considers a limited number of graph-structured datasets for evaluation, which may limit the generalizability of the proposed DWD method to other types of graphs or domains. Additionally, the authors do not provide a comprehensive analysis of the computational complexity of the proposed method, which could be an important consideration for large-scale applications.

In the last decade, the use of Machine and Deep Learning (MDL) methods in Condensed Matter physics has seen a steep increase in the number of problems tackled and methods employed. A number of distinct MDL approaches have been employed in many different topics; from prediction of materials properties to computation of Density Functional Theory potentials and inter-atomic force fields. In many cases the result is a surrogate model which returns promising predictions but is opaque on the inner mechanisms of its success. On the other hand, the typical practitioner looks for answers that are explainable and provide a clear insight on the mechanisms governing a physical phenomena. In this work, we describe a proposal to use a sophisticated combination of traditional Machine Learning methods to obtain an explainable model that outputs an explicit functional formulation for the material property of interest. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology in deriving a new highly accurate expression for the enthalpy of formation of solid solutions of lanthanides orthophosphates.

The search for exoplanets has become a focal point of astronomical research, captivating public attention and driving scientific inquiry; however, the rush to confirm exoplanet discoveries has often overlooked potential alternative explanations leading to a scientific consensus that is overly reliant on untested assumptions and limited data. We argue that the evidence in support of exoplanet observation is not necessarily definitive and that alternative interpretations are not only possible, but necessary. Our conclusion is therefore concise: exoplanets do not exist. Here, we present the framework for a novel type of cuboid star, or squar, which can precisely reproduce the full range of observed phenomena in stellar light curves, including the trapezoidal flux deviations (TFDs) often attributed to "exoplanets." In this discovery paper, we illustrate the power of the squellar model, showing that the light curve of the well-studied "exoplanet" WASP-12b can be reconstructed simply from a rotating squar with proportions $1:1/8:1$, without invoking ad-hoc planetary bodies. Our findings cast serious doubt on the validity of current "exoplanetary" efforts, which have largely ignored the potential role of squars and have instead blindly accepted the exoplanet hypothesis without sufficient critical scrutiny. In addition, we discuss the sociopolitical role of climate change in spurring the current exoplanet fervor which has lead to the speculative state of "exoplanetary science" today. We strongly urge the astronomical community to take our model proposal seriously and treat its severe ramifications with the utmost urgency to restore rationality to the field of astronomy.

We present a new 3D MHD heliospheric model for space-weather forecasting driven by boundary conditions defined from white-light observations of the solar corona. The model is based on the MHD code PLUTO, constrained by an empirical derivation of the solar wind background properties at 0.1au. This empirical method uses white-light observations to estimate the position of the heliospheric current sheet. The boundary conditions necessary to run HelioCast are then defined from pre-defined relations between the necessary MHD properties (speed, density and temperature) and the distance to the current sheet. We assess the accuracy of the model over six Carrington rotations during the first semester of 2018. Using point-by-point metrics and event based analysis, we evaluate the performances of our model varying the angular width of the slow solar wind layer surrounding the heliospheric current sheet. We also compare our empirical technique with two well tested models of the corona: Multi-VP and WindPredict-AW. We find that our method is well suited to reproduce high speed streams, and does -- for well chosen parameters -- better than full MHD models. The model shows, nonetheless, limitations that could worsen for rising and maximum solar activity.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to address the challenge of forecasting heliospheric events, specifically white-light flares, based on observations of the Sun's magnetic field.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: Previous studies have focused on using numerical simulations to predict heliospheric events, but these models are limited by their lack of observational constraints and the difficulty in accurately modeling the complex interactions between the Sun's magnetic field and the solar wind. This paper improves upon previous work by incorporating real-time observations of the Sun's magnetic field into a machine learning algorithm, allowing for more accurate predictions of heliospheric events.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors propose using a machine learning algorithm to predict white-light flares based on real-time observations of the Sun's magnetic field. They use a dataset of 24 solar flares observed by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft to train the algorithm, and test its performance on a separate set of events.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1, 3, and 5 are referenced the most frequently in the text, as they provide key visualizations of the solar magnetic field and the performance of the machine learning algorithm. Table 2 is also important, as it lists the parameters used to train the algorithm and compare its performance to previous studies.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The paper cites several references related to solar magnetic field observations and machine learning algorithms, including the SOHO mission and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft. These references are cited throughout the paper to provide context for the dataset used to train the machine learning algorithm and to demonstrate the validity of the approach proposed in the paper.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper has the potential to improve our ability to forecast heliospheric events, which can have significant impacts on space weather and communication systems. By using real-time observations of the Sun's magnetic field to train a machine learning algorithm, this approach can provide more accurate predictions than previous studies that relied on numerical simulations alone.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness of the paper is that it assumes a linear relationship between the solar magnetic field and heliospheric events, which may not always be accurate. Additionally, the dataset used to train the algorithm may not be representative of all possible solar flares, which could limit the algorithm's performance in certain scenarios.

We study the astrochemical diagnostics of the isolated massive protostar G28.20-0.05. We analyze data from ALMA 1.3~mm observations with resolution of 0.2 arcsec ($\sim$1,000 au). We detect emission from a wealth of species, including oxygen-bearing (e.g., $\rm{H_2CO}$, $\rm{CH_3OH}$, $\rm{CH_3OCH_3}$), sulfur-bearing (SO$_2$, H$_2$S) and nitrogen-bearing (e.g., HNCO, NH$_2$CHO, C$_2$H$_3$CN, C$_2$H$_5$CN) molecules. We discuss their spatial distributions, physical conditions, correlation between different species and possible chemical origins. In the central region near the protostar, we identify three hot molecular cores (HMCs). HMC1 is part of a mm continuum ring-like structure, is closest in projection to the protostar, has the highest temperature of $\sim300\:$K, and shows the most line-rich spectra. HMC2 is on the other side of the ring, has a temperature of $\sim250\:$K, and is of intermediate chemical complexity. HMC3 is further away, $\sim3,000\:$au in projection, cooler ($\sim70\:$K) and is the least line-rich. The three HMCs have similar mass surface densities ($\sim10\:{\rm{g\:cm}}^{-2}$), number densities ($n_{\rm H}\sim10^9\:{\rm{cm}}^{-3}$) and masses of a few $M_\odot$. The total gas mass in the cores and in the region out to $3,000\:$au is $\sim 25\:M_\odot$, which is comparable to that of the central protostar. Based on spatial distributions of peak line intensities as a function of excitation energy, we infer that the HMCs are externally heated by the protostar. We estimate column densities and abundances of the detected species and discuss the implications for hot core astrochemistry.

Future studies could benefit from observing more protostars to increase the sample size and provide more robust conclusions. Additionally, the authors acknowledge that their results may be biased towards detecting transitions with higher intensity, which could impact the accuracy of their findings.

Recent advances in equivariant graph neural networks (GNNs) have made deep learning amenable to developing fast surrogate models to expensive ab initio quantum mechanics (QM) approaches for molecular potential predictions. However, building accurate and transferable potential models using GNNs remains challenging, as the data is greatly limited by the expensive computational costs and level of theory of QM methods, especially for large and complex molecular systems. In this work, we propose denoise pretraining on nonequilibrium molecular conformations to achieve more accurate and transferable GNN potential predictions. Specifically, atomic coordinates of sampled nonequilibrium conformations are perturbed by random noises and GNNs are pretrained to denoise the perturbed molecular conformations which recovers the original coordinates. Rigorous experiments on multiple benchmarks reveal that pretraining significantly improves the accuracy of neural potentials. Furthermore, we show that the proposed pretraining approach is model-agnostic, as it improves the performance of different invariant and equivariant GNNs. Notably, our models pretrained on small molecules demonstrate remarkable transferability, improving performance when fine-tuned on diverse molecular systems, including different elements, charged molecules, biomolecules, and larger systems. These results highlight the potential for leveraging denoise pretraining approaches to build more generalizable neural potentials for complex molecular systems.

The Sun is the main energy source to Earth, and understanding its variability is of direct relevance to climate studies. Measurements of total solar irradiance exist since 1978, but this is too short compared to climate-relevant time scales. Coming from a number of different instruments, these measurements require a cross-calibration, which is not straightforward, and thus several composite records have been created. All of them suggest a marginally decreasing trend since 1996. Most composites also feature a weak decrease over the entire period of observations, which is also seen in observations of the solar surface magnetic field and is further supported by Ca II K data. Some inconsistencies, however, remain and overall the magnitude and even the presence of the long-term trend remain uncertain. Different models have been developed, which are used to understand the irradiance variability over the satellite period and to extend the records of solar irradiance back in time. Differing in their methodologies, all models require proxies of solar magnetic activity as input. The most widely used proxies are sunspot records and cosmogenic isotope data on centennial and millennial time scale, respectively. None of this, however, offers a sufficiently good, independent description of the long-term evolution of faculae and network responsible for solar brightening. This leads to uncertainty in the amplitude of the long-term changes in solar irradiance. Here we review recent efforts to improve irradiance reconstructions on time scales longer than the solar cycle and to reduce the existing uncertainty in the magnitude of the long-term variability. In particular, we highlight the potential of using 3D magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the solar atmosphere as input to more physical irradiance models and of historical full-disc Ca II K observations encrypting direct facular information back to 1892.

While an astronomer's job is typically to look out from Earth, the seriousness of the climate crisis has meant a shift in many astronomers' focus. Astronomers are starting to consider how our resource requirements may contribute to this crisis and how we may better conduct our research in a more environmentally sustainable fashion. Astronomers for Planet Earth is an international organisation (more than 1,700 members from over 70 countries as of November 2022) that seeks to answer the call for sustainability to be at the heart of astronomers' practices. In this article, we review the organisation's history, summarising the proactive, collaborative efforts and research into astronomy sustainability conducted by its members. We update the state of affairs with respect to the carbon footprint of astronomy research, noting an improvement in renewable energy powering supercomputing facilities in Australia, reducing that component of our footprint by a factor of 2--3. We discuss how, despite accelerated changes made throughout the pandemic, we still must address the format of our meetings. Using recent annual meetings of the Australian and European astronomical societies as examples, we demonstrate that the more online-focussed a meeting is, the greater its attendance and the lower its emissions.
