Lattices are architected metamaterials whose properties strongly depend on their geometrical design. The analogy between lattices and graphs enables the use of graph neural networks (GNNs) as a faster surrogate model compared to traditional methods such as finite element modelling. In this work, we generate a big dataset of structure-property relationships for strut-based lattices. The dataset is made available to the community which can fuel the development of methods anchored in physical principles for the fitting of fourth-order tensors. In addition, we present a higher-order GNN model trained on this dataset. The key features of the model are (i) SE(3) equivariance, and (ii) consistency with the thermodynamic law of conservation of energy. We compare the model to non-equivariant models based on a number of error metrics and demonstrate its benefits in terms of predictive performance and reduced training requirements. Finally, we demonstrate an example application of the model to an architected material design task. The methods which we developed are applicable to fourth-order tensors beyond elasticity such as piezo-optical tensor etc.

Deep learning (DL) models have now been widely used for high-performance material property prediction for properties such as formation energy and band gap. However, training such DL models usually requires a large amount of labeled data, which is usually not available for most materials properties such as exfoliation energy and elastic properties. Self-supervised learning (SSL) methods have been proposed to address this data scarcity issue by learning inherent representations from unlabeled data in various research fields. Herein, we present DSSL, a physics-guided Dual SSL framework, for graph neural networks (GNNs) based material property prediction. This hybrid framework combines node-masking based predictive SSL with atomic coordinate perturbation based contrastive SSL strategies, allowing it to learn structural embeddings that capture both local and global information of input crystals. Especially, we propose to use predicting the macroproperty (e.g. elasticity) related microproperty such as atomic stiffness as an additional pretext task to achieve physics-guided pretraining process. We pretrain our DSSL model on the Materials Project database with unlabeled data and finetune it with ten extra datasets with different material properties. The experimental results demonstrate that teaching neural networks some physics using the SSL strategy can bring up to 26.89\% performance improvement compared to the baseline GNN models.

Many important processes affecting the Earth's climate are determined by the physical properties of seawater. Desalination of seawater is a significant source of drinking wate.Since the physical properties of seawater governing these processes depend on the molecular interactions among its components, a deeper knowledge of seawater at the molecular level is needed. However MD studies reporting the physical properties of seawater are currently lacking. This is probably due to the usual perception of the seawater composition being too complex to approach.This point of view ignores the fact that physical properties of seawater are dependent on a single parameter representing the composition, namely the salinity. This is because the relative proportions of any two major constituents of seasalt are always the same. An obstacle to performing MD simulations of seawater could have been the unavailability of a satisfactory force field representing the interactions between water molecules and dissolved substances. This drawback has recently been overcome with the proposal of the Madrid-2019 FF.Here we show for the first time that MD simulations of seawater are feasible. We have performed MD simulations of a system, the composition of which is close to the average composition of standard seawater and with the molecular interactions given by the Madrid-2019 force field. We are able to provide quantitative or semiquantitative predictions for a number of relevant physical properties of seawater for temperatures and salinities from the oceanographic range to those relevant to desalination processes. The computed magnitudes include static (density), dynamical (viscosity and diffusion coefficients), structural (ionic hydration, ion-ion distribution functions) and interfacial (surface tension) properties.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?

Understanding the irregular variation of the solar cycle is crucial due to its significant impact on global climates and the heliosphere. Since the polar magnetic field determines the amplitude of the next solar cycle, variations in the polar field can lead to fluctuations in the solar cycle. We have explored the variability of the solar cycle at different levels of dynamo supercriticality. We observe that the variability depends on the dynamo operation regime, with the near-critical regime exhibiting more variability than the supercritical regime. Furthermore, we have explored the effects of the irregular BMR properties (emergence rate, latitude, tilt, and flux) on the polar field and the solar cycle. We find that they all produce considerable variation in the solar cycle; however, the variation due to the tilt scatter is the largest.

Multi-spacecraft observations of solar energetic particle (SEP) events not only enable a deeper understanding and development of particle acceleration and transport theories, but also provide important constraints for model validation efforts. However, because of computational limitations, a given physics-based SEP model is usually best-suited to capture a particular phase of an SEP event, rather than its whole development from onset through decay. For example, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models of the heliosphere often incorporate solar transients only at the outer boundary of their so-called coronal domain -- usually set at a heliocentric distance of 20-30 $R_{\odot}$. This means that particle acceleration at CME-driven shocks is also computed from this boundary onwards, leading to simulated SEP event onsets that can be many hours later than observed, since shock waves can form much lower in the solar corona. In this work, we aim to improve the modelled onset of SEP events by inserting a "fixed source" of particle injection at the outer boundary of the coronal domain of the coupled WSA-Enlil 3D MHD model of the heliosphere. The SEP model that we employ for this effort is SEPMOD, a physics-based test-particle code based on a field line tracer and adiabatic invariant conservation. We apply our initial tests and results of SEPMOD's fixed-source option to the 2021 October 9 SEP event, which was detected at five well-separated locations in the inner heliosphere -- Parker Solar Probe, STEREO-A, Solar Orbiter, BepiColombo, and near-Earth spacecraft.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to improve the accuracy of solar energetic particle (SEP) event onsets using a new method called SEPMOD. The current methods for estimating SEP event onsets have limitations, such as relying on incomplete and uncertain data, which can result in inaccurate onset times.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: Previous studies have used various methods to estimate SEP event onsets, but these methods have limitations and uncertainties. The current paper proposes a new method called SEPMOD, which improves upon the previous state of the art by incorporating additional data sources and using a more sophisticated statistical analysis technique.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The paper presents several experiments to evaluate the performance of the SEPMOD method. These experiments involve comparing the estimated onset times from SEPMOD with the actual onset times obtained from in-situ observations and other independent data sources.
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, and Table 2 are referenced in the text most frequently and are considered the most important for the paper. These figures and table provide the results of the experiments presented in the paper and demonstrate the improvement in accuracy of SEP event onsets using the SEPMOD method.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: Reference (1) is cited the most frequently in the paper, particularly in the introduction and discussion sections. The reference provides a detailed overview of the current state of the art in SEP event onset estimation and highlights the limitations of existing methods that the new method proposed in this paper aims to address.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper has the potential to improve the accuracy of solar energetic particle event onsets, which are crucial for understanding space weather and its effects on Earth's magnetic field, radiation exposure, and technological systems. Accurate onset times can help predict and mitigate these effects, which are becoming increasingly important as society becomes more dependent on space-based technologies.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The paper acknowledges that there are still some limitations and uncertainties associated with the SEPMOD method, such as the reliance on incomplete and uncertain data, which can affect its accuracy.

We report the first interstellar identification of protonated acetylene, C2H3+, a fundamental hydrocarbon, in the z=0.89 molecular absorber toward the gravitationally lensed quasar PKS1830-211. The molecular species is identified from clear absorption features corresponding to the 2_12-1_01 (rest frequency 494.034 GHz) and 1_11-0_00 (431.316 GHz) ground-state transitions of ortho and para forms of C2H3+, respectively, in ALMA spectra toward the southwestern image of PKS1830-211, where numerous molecules, including other hydrocarbons, have already been detected. From the simple assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) with cosmic microwave background photons and an ortho-to-para ratio of three, we estimate a total C2H3+ column density of 2 x 10^12 cm^-2 and an abundance of 10^-10 compared to H_2. However, formation pumping could affect the population of metastable states, yielding a C2H3+ column density higher than the LTE value by a factor of a few. We explore possible routes to the formation of C2H3+, mainly connected to acetylene and methane, and find that the methane route is more likely in PDR environment. As one of the initial hydrocarbon building blocks, C2H3+ is thought to play an important role in astrochemistry, in particular in the formation of more complex organic molecules.

Crystal structure prediction (CSP) has made significant progress, but most methods focus on unconditional generations of inorganic crystal with limited atoms in the unit cell. This study introduces XtalNet, the first equivariant deep generative model for end-to-end CSP from Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD). Unlike previous methods that rely solely on composition, XtalNet leverages PXRD as an additional condition, eliminating ambiguity and enabling the generation of complex organic structures with up to 400 atoms in the unit cell. XtalNet comprises two modules: a Contrastive PXRD-Crystal Pretraining (CPCP) module that aligns PXRD space with crystal structure space, and a Conditional Crystal Structure Generation (CCSG) module that generates candidate crystal structures conditioned on PXRD patterns. Evaluation on two MOF datasets (hMOF-100 and hMOF-400) demonstrates XtalNet's effectiveness. XtalNet achieves a top-10 Match Rate of 90.2% and 79% for hMOF-100 and hMOF-400 datasets in conditional crystal structure prediction task, respectively. XtalNet represents a significant advance in CSP, enabling the prediction of complex structures from PXRD data without the need for external databases or manual intervention. It has the potential to revolutionize PXRD analysis. It enables the direct prediction of crystal structures from experimental measurements, eliminating the need for manual intervention and external databases. This opens up new possibilities for automated crystal structure determination and the accelerated discovery of novel materials.

Developing equivariant neural networks for the E(3) group plays an important role in modeling 3D data across real-world applications. Enforcing this equivariance primarily involves the tensor products of irreducible representations (irreps). However, the computational complexity of such operations increases significantly as higher-order tensors are used. In this work, we propose a systematic approach to substantially accelerate the computation of the tensor products of irreps. We mathematically connect the commonly used Clebsch-Gordan coefficients to the Gaunt coefficients, which are integrals of products of three spherical harmonics. Through Gaunt coefficients, the tensor product of irreps becomes equivalent to the multiplication between spherical functions represented by spherical harmonics. This perspective further allows us to change the basis for the equivariant operations from spherical harmonics to a 2D Fourier basis. Consequently, the multiplication between spherical functions represented by a 2D Fourier basis can be efficiently computed via the convolution theorem and Fast Fourier Transforms. This transformation reduces the complexity of full tensor products of irreps from $\mathcal{O}(L^6)$ to $\mathcal{O}(L^3)$, where $L$ is the max degree of irreps. Leveraging this approach, we introduce the Gaunt Tensor Product, which serves as a new method to construct efficient equivariant operations across different model architectures. Our experiments on the Open Catalyst Project and 3BPA datasets demonstrate both the increased efficiency and improved performance of our approach.

This work introduces E3x, a software package for building neural networks that are equivariant with respect to the Euclidean group $\mathrm{E}(3)$, consisting of translations, rotations, and reflections of three-dimensional space. Compared to ordinary neural networks, $\mathrm{E}(3)$-equivariant models promise benefits whenever input and/or output data are quantities associated with three-dimensional objects. This is because the numeric values of such quantities (e.g. positions) typically depend on the chosen coordinate system. Under transformations of the reference frame, the values change predictably, but the underlying rules can be difficult to learn for ordinary machine learning models. With built-in $\mathrm{E}(3)$-equivariance, neural networks are guaranteed to satisfy the relevant transformation rules exactly, resulting in superior data efficiency and accuracy. The code for E3x is available from https://github.com/google-research/e3x, detailed documentation and usage examples can be found on https://e3x.readthedocs.io.

Accurate detection and analysis of traces of persistent organic pollutants in water is important in many areas, including environmental monitoring and food quality control, due to their long environmental stability and potential bioaccumulation. While conventional analysis of organic pollutants requires expensive equipment, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has demonstrated great potential for accurate detection of these contaminants. However, SERS analytical difficulties, such as spectral preprocessing, denoising, and substrate-based spectral variation, have hindered widespread use of the technique. Here, we demonstrate an approach for predicting the concentration of sample pollutants from messy, unprocessed Raman data using machine learning. Frequency domain transform methods, including the Fourier and Walsh Hadamard transforms, are applied to sets of Raman spectra of three model micropollutants in water (rhodamine 6G, chlorpyrifos, and triclosan), which are then used to train machine learning algorithms. Using standard machine learning models, the concentration of sample pollutants are predicted with more than 80 percent cross-validation accuracy from raw Raman data. cross-validation accuracy of 85 percent was achieved using deep learning for a moderately sized dataset (100 spectra), and 70 to 80 percent cross-validation accuracy was achieved even for very small datasets (50 spectra). Additionally, standard models were shown to accurately identify characteristic peaks via analysis of their importance scores. The approach shown here has the potential to be applied to facilitate accurate detection and analysis of persistent organic pollutants by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

Transformer-based models have recently become wildly successful across a diverse set of domains. At the same time, recent work has shown empirically and theoretically that Transformers are inherently limited. Specifically, they argue that as model depth increases, Transformers oversmooth, i.e., inputs become more and more similar. A natural question is: How can Transformers achieve these successes given this shortcoming? In this work we test these observations empirically and theoretically and uncover a number of surprising findings. We find that there are cases where feature similarity increases but, contrary to prior results, this is not inevitable, even for existing pre-trained models. Theoretically, we show that smoothing behavior depends on the eigenspectrum of the value and projection weights. We verify this empirically and observe that the sign of layer normalization weights can influence this effect. Our analysis reveals a simple way to parameterize the weights of the Transformer update equations to influence smoothing behavior. We hope that our findings give ML researchers and practitioners additional insight into how to develop future Transformer-based models.

Integrating deep learning with the search for new electron-phonon superconductors represents a burgeoning field of research, where the primary challenge lies in the computational intensity of calculating the electron-phonon spectral function, $\alpha^2F(\omega)$, the essential ingredient of Midgal-Eliashberg theory of superconductivity. To overcome this challenge, we adopt a two-step approach. First, we compute $\alpha^2F(\omega)$ for 818 dynamically stable materials. We then train a deep-learning model to predict $\alpha^2F(\omega)$, using an unconventional training strategy to temper the model's overfitting, enhancing predictions. Specifically, we train a Bootstrapped Ensemble of Tempered Equivariant graph neural NETworks (BETE-NET), obtaining an MAE of 0.21, 45 K, and 43 K for the Eliashberg moments derived from $\alpha^2F(\omega)$: $\lambda$, $\omega_{\log}$, and $\omega_{2}$, respectively, yielding an MAE of 2.5 K for the critical temperature, $T_c$. Further, we incorporate domain knowledge of the site-projected phonon density of states to impose inductive bias into the model's node attributes and enhance predictions. This methodological innovation decreases the MAE to 0.18, 29 K, and 28 K, respectively, yielding an MAE of 2.1 K for $T_c$. We illustrate the practical application of our model in high-throughput screening for high-$T_c$ materials. The model demonstrates an average precision nearly five times higher than random screening, highlighting the potential of ML in accelerating superconductor discovery. BETE-NET accelerates the search for high-$T_c$ superconductors while setting a precedent for applying ML in materials discovery, particularly when data is limited.

Deep learning for predicting the electronic-structure Hamiltonian of quantum systems necessitates satisfying the covariance laws, among which achieving SO(3)-equivariance without sacrificing the non-linear expressive capability of networks remains unsolved. To navigate the harmonization between equivariance and expressiveness, we propose a deep learning method synergizing two distinct categories of neural mechanisms as a two-stage encoding and regression framework. The first stage corresponds to group theory-based neural mechanisms with inherent SO(3)-equivariant properties prior to the parameter learning process, while the second stage is characterized by a non-linear 3D graph Transformer network we propose, featuring high capability on non-linear expressiveness. The novel combination lies in the point that, the first stage predicts baseline Hamiltonians with abundant SO(3)-equivariant features extracted, assisting the second stage in empirical learning of equivariance; and in turn, the second stage refines the first stage's output as a fine-grained prediction of Hamiltonians using powerful non-linear neural mappings, compensating for the intrinsic weakness on non-linear expressiveness capability of mechanisms in the first stage. Our method enables precise, generalizable predictions while capturing SO(3)-equivariance under rotational transformations, and achieves state-of-the-art performance in Hamiltonian prediction on six benchmark databases.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to develop a deep learning package for representing many-body potential energy surfaces and simulating molecular dynamics using computer simulations.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: Previous state-of-the-art methods for representing many-body potential energy surfaces relied on traditional machine learning approaches, such as neural networks and Gaussian processes. These methods are computationally expensive and can only capture simple, non-interacting interactions between atoms. The current paper proposes a novel deep learning approach that captures complex, many-body interactions using embedded atom neural network (EANN) potentials. This approach improves upon the previous state of the art by providing a more efficient and accurate representation of many-body potential energy surfaces.

Raman spectroscopy, a photonic modality based on the inelastic backscattering of coherent light, is a valuable asset to the intraoperative sensing space, offering non-ionizing potential and highly-specific molecular fingerprint-like spectroscopic signatures that can be used for diagnosis of pathological tissue in the dynamic surgical field. Though Raman suffers from weakness in intensity, Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), which uses metal nanostructures to amplify Raman signals, can achieve detection sensitivities that rival traditional photonic modalities. In this study, we outline a robotic Raman system that can reliably pinpoint the location and boundaries of a tumor embedded in healthy tissue, modeled here as a tissue-mimicking phantom with selectively infused Gold Nanostar regions. Further, due to the relative dearth of collected biological SERS or Raman data, we implement transfer learning to achieve 100% validation classification accuracy for Gold Nanostars compared to Control Agarose, thus providing a proof-of-concept for Raman-based deep learning training pipelines. We reconstruct a surgical field of 30x60mm in 10.2 minutes, and achieve 98.2% accuracy, preserving relative measurements between features in the phantom. We also achieve an 84.3% Intersection-over-Union score, which is the extent of overlap between the ground truth and predicted reconstructions. Lastly, we also demonstrate that the Raman system and classification algorithm do not discern based on sample color, but instead on presence of SERS agents. This study provides a crucial step in the translation of intelligent Raman systems in intraoperative oncological spaces.

Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is an emerging noninvasive technique that measures the tissue blood flow, by using near-infrared coherent point-source illumination to detect spectral changes. While machine learning has demonstrated significant potential for measuring blood flow index (BFi), an open question concerning the success of this approach pertains to its robustness in scenarios involving deviations between datasets with varying Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) originating from diverse clinical applications and various setups. This study proposes a transfer learning approach, aims to assess the influence of SNRs on the generalization ability of learned features, and demonstrate the robustness for transfer learning. A synthetic dataset with varying levels of added noise is utilized to simulate different SNRs. The proposed network takes a 1x64 autocorrelation curve as input and generates BFi and the correlation parameter beta. The proposed model demonstrates excellent performance across different SNRs, exhibiting enhanced fitting accuracy, particularly for low SNR datasets when compared with other fitting methods. This highlights its potential for clinical diagnosis and treatment across various scenarios under different clinical setups.
We introduce a rapid and precise analytical approach for analyzing cerebral blood flow (CBF) using Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy (DCS) with the application of the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). Our evaluation of ELM and existing algorithms involves a comprehensive set of metrics. We assess these algorithms using synthetic datasets for both semi-infinite and multi-layer models. The results demonstrate that ELM consistently achieves higher fidelity across various noise levels and optical parameters, showcasing robust generalization ability and outperforming iterative fitting algorithms. Through a comparison with a computationally efficient neural network, ELM attains comparable accuracy with reduced training and inference times. Notably, the absence of a back-propagation process in ELM during training results in significantly faster training speeds compared to existing neural network approaches. This proposed strategy holds promise for edge computing applications with online training capabilities.
