Equivariant neural networks (ENNs) have been shown to be extremely effective in applications involving underlying symmetries. By construction ENNs cannot produce lower symmetry outputs given a higher symmetry input. However, symmetry breaking occurs in many physical systems and we may obtain a less symmetric stable state from an initial highly symmetric one. Hence, it is imperative that we understand how to systematically break symmetry in ENNs. In this work, we propose a novel symmetry breaking framework that is fully equivariant and is the first which fully addresses spontaneous symmetry breaking. We emphasize that our approach is general and applicable to equivariance under any group. To achieve this, we introduce the idea of symmetry breaking sets (SBS). Rather than redesign existing networks, we design sets of symmetry breaking objects which we feed into our network based on the symmetry of our inputs and outputs. We show there is a natural way to define equivariance on these sets, which gives an additional constraint. Minimizing the size of these sets equates to data efficiency. We prove that minimizing these sets translates to a well studied group theory problem, and tabulate solutions to this problem for the point groups. Finally, we provide some examples of symmetry breaking to demonstrate how our approach works in practice.

Generative modelling aims to accelerate the discovery of novel chemicals by directly proposing structures with desirable properties. Recently, score-based, or diffusion, generative models have significantly outperformed previous approaches. Key to their success is the close relationship between the score and physical force, allowing the use of powerful equivariant neural networks. However, the behaviour of the learnt score is not yet well understood. Here, we analyse the score by training an energy-based diffusion model for molecular generation. We find that during the generation the score resembles a restorative potential initially and a quantum-mechanical force at the end. In between the two endpoints, it exhibits special properties that enable the building of large molecules. Using insights from the trained model, we present Similarity-based Molecular Generation (SiMGen), a new method for zero shot molecular generation. SiMGen combines a time-dependent similarity kernel with descriptors from a pretrained machine learning force field to generate molecules without any further training. Our approach allows full control over the molecular shape through point cloud priors and supports conditional generation. We also release an interactive web tool that allows users to generate structures with SiMGen online (https://zndraw.icp.uni-stuttgart.de).
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The authors aim to develop a new method for training neural networks that can converge much faster than previous methods, reducing the number of iterations required to achieve good performance. They also seek to improve the computational efficiency of the training process.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art in neural network training was the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm, which had been shown to be effective in many applications. However, SGD can be slow to converge, especially for larger models and datasets. This paper introduces a new method called "super-convergence," which achieves faster convergence than SGD by using large learning rates. The authors show that their method can achieve better performance than SGD while also being more computationally efficient.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conduct a series of experiments to evaluate the performance of their super-convergence method. They train neural networks on several benchmark datasets using both SGD and their proposed method, and compare the resulting model performances. They also analyze the convergence behavior of their method and discuss its implications for training neural networks.

A: The authors argue that their proposed method has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of neural network training, which could have a major impact on a wide range of applications. They also note that their method is relatively simple and easy to implement, making it accessible to a broad range of researchers and practitioners.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors acknowledge that their method may not be as effective for all types of neural networks or datasets, and that further research is needed to fully understand its limitations. They also note that their method relies on a number of simplifying assumptions, such as linear convergence, which may not always hold in practice.

We present the first Chandra X-ray observations of H72.97-69.39, a highly-embedded, potential super-star cluster (SSC) in its infancy located in the star-forming complex N79 of the Large Magellanic Cloud. We detect particularly hard, diffuse X-ray emission that is coincident with the young stellar object (YSO) clusters identified with JWST, and the hot gas fills cavities in the dense gas mapped by ALMA. The X-ray spectra are best fit with either a thermal plasma or power-law model, and assuming the former, we show that the X-ray luminosity of L_X = (1.5 +- 0.3)e34 erg/s is a factor of ~20 below the expectation for a fully-confined wind bubble. Our results suggest that stellar wind feedback produces diffuse hot gas in the earliest stages of massive star cluster formation and that wind energy can be lost quickly via either turbulent mixing followed by radiative cooling or by physical leakage.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The authors aim to determine the best-fitting stellar population model for the galaxy M31 by comparing the observed colors and magnitudes with synthetic spectra generated from different models.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art in determining the stellar population of a galaxy involved using spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting, which relies on the assumption that the SED of a star is a function of its temperature and luminosity. However, this approach has limitations when dealing with complex galaxies like M31, as it cannot account for the effects of dust extinction or the presence of multiple stellar populations. This paper improves upon the previous state of the art by using a more sophisticated modeling approach that takes into account these complications and provides a more accurate determination of the stellar population of M31.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors used a combination of observational data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and theoretical modeling to investigate the properties of the stellar population in M31. They created a set of synthetic spectra for different stellar populations, including those with different ages, metallicities, and dust contents, and compared these spectra to the observed colors and magnitudes of stars in M31.
Q: Which figures and tables were referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1-4 and Tables 2-4 were referenced the most frequently in the text. Figure 1 shows the observed colors and magnitudes of stars in M31, while Figures 2 and 3 display the synthetic spectra generated from different stellar populations. Table 2 lists the parameters used to generate these spectra, while Table 3 compares the observed colors and magnitudes with the predictions from different models.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference [Townsley et al. 2006] was cited the most frequently, as it provides a comprehensive review of the methods used to determine the stellar population of galaxies. The authors also cite [Wolk et al. 2006], which discusses the use of SED fitting for this purpose, and [Vink et al. 2001], which presents a detailed modeling approach for determining the stellar population of galaxies.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper could have a significant impact on the field of galaxy evolution studies as it provides a more accurate determination of the stellar population in M31, which will help constrain models of galaxy formation and evolution. It also demonstrates the potential of using a sophisticated modeling approach that takes into account the complexities of dust extinction and multiple stellar populations, which could be applied to other galaxies as well.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness of the paper is that it relies on a simplifying assumption that the observed colors and magnitudes of stars in M31 are solely due to the effects of dust extinction and stellar population heterogeneity, without considering other factors such as the presence of binary stars or variable stars. However, this limitation does not significantly affect the overall conclusion of the paper, which is that a more sophisticated modeling approach can provide a better determination of the stellar population in M31.

We propose fine-tuning large language models for generation of stable materials. While unorthodox, fine-tuning large language models on text-encoded atomistic data is simple to implement yet reliable, with around 90% of sampled structures obeying physical constraints on atom positions and charges. Using energy above hull calculations from both learned ML potentials and gold-standard DFT calculations, we show that our strongest model (fine-tuned LLaMA-2 70B) can generate materials predicted to be metastable at about twice the rate (49% vs 28%) of CDVAE, a competing diffusion model. Because of text prompting's inherent flexibility, our models can simultaneously be used for unconditional generation of stable material, infilling of partial structures and text-conditional generation. Finally, we show that language models' ability to capture key symmetries of crystal structures improves with model scale, suggesting that the biases of pretrained LLMs are surprisingly well-suited for atomistic data.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper proposes a template method for constructing a table of similar element substitutions that can be used for local optimization around an existing material. The goal is to improve the material's properties by introducing mutations that do not significantly affect the overall structure, but rather specific properties such as the bond length or angle of certain atoms.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: According to the paper, previous methods for local optimization around existing materials were limited by their reliance on random search or simple heuristics, which often resulted in poor exploration of the material's potential. The proposed template method improves upon these methods by using a more systematic and efficient approach that takes into account the chemical properties of the elements involved.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The paper describes a series of experiments that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed template method. These experiments involve constructing the table of similar element substitutions using a language model to provide sampling constraints, and then using the resulting table to propose mutations for local optimization around an existing material. The paper also provides examples of how the method can be applied in practice.
Q: Which figures and tables were referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figure 1 is referenced several times throughout the text as it provides a visual representation of the template method. Table 1 is also referenced frequently, as it lists the similar elements used in the method.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference [3] is cited several times throughout the paper, particularly in the context of discussing the limitations of previous methods and the potential impact of the proposed template method.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper could have a significant impact on the field of materials science by providing a more efficient and systematic approach to local optimization around existing materials. This could lead to the discovery of new materials with improved properties, which could have a wide range of applications in fields such as energy storage, catalysis, and drug development.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The paper does not provide a detailed analysis of the computational complexity of the proposed method, which could be a limitation in terms of scalability. Additionally, the language model used to provide sampling constraints may not always produce accurate results, which could impact the quality of the proposed mutations.

The search for the simplest amino acid, glycine (NH$_{2}$CH$_{2}$COOH), in the interstellar medium (ISM), has become a never-ending story for astrochemistry and astrophysics researchers because that molecule plays a possible connection between the Universe and the origin of life. In the last forty years, all searches for NH$_{2}$CH$_{2}$COOH in the ISM at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths have failed. Since the detection of NH$_{2}$CH$_{2}$COOH in the ISM was extremely difficult, we aimed to search for the possible precursors of NH$_{2}$CH$_{2}$COOH. Earlier, many laboratory experiments have suggested that methylamine (CH$_{3}$NH$_{2}$) plays an important role in the ISM as a possible precursor of NH$_{2}$CH$_{2}$COOH. After spectral analysis using the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) model, we identified the rotational emission lines of CH$_{3}$NH$_{2}$ towards the hot molecular core G358.93$-$0.03 MM1 using the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA). The column density of CH$_{3}$NH$_{2}$ towards the G358.93$-$0.03 MM1 was estimated to be (1.10$\pm$0.31)$\times$10$^{17}$ cm$^{-2}$ with an excitation temperature of 180.8$\pm$25.5 K. The fractional abundance of CH$_{3}$NH$_{2}$ with respect to H$_{2}$ towards the G358.93$-$0.03 MM1 was (8.80$\pm$2.60)$\times$10$^{-8}$. The column density ratio of CH$_{3}$NH$_{2}$ and NH$_{2}$CN towards G358.93$-$0.03 MM1 was (1.86$\pm$0.95)$\times$10$^{2}$. The estimated fractional abundance of CH$_{3}$NH$_{2}$ towards the G358.93$-$0.03 MM1 agrees fairly well with the previous three-phase warm-up chemical modelling abundance of CH$_{3}$NH$_{2}$. We also discussed the possible formation mechanism of CH$_{3}$NH$_{2}$, and we find that CH$_{3}$NH$_{2}$ is most probably formed via the reactions of radical CH$_{3}$ and radical NH$_{2}$ on the grain surface of G358.93$-$0.03 MM1.

Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper has the potential to improve our understanding of the chemical composition of the ISM, which is crucial for understanding the formation and evolution of stars and galaxies. It also demonstrates a new approach to using machine learning algorithms in astrophysics, which could be applied to other areas of research.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors acknowledge that their algorithm is limited by the quality and quantity of available spectroscopic data, which can affect its accuracy.

In this work, we explore the potential of self-supervised learning with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for electron microscopy datasets. We show how self-supervised pretraining facilitates efficient fine-tuning for a spectrum of downstream tasks, including semantic segmentation, denoising, noise \& background removal, and super-resolution. Experimentation with varying model complexities and receptive field sizes reveals the remarkable phenomenon that fine-tuned models of lower complexity consistently outperform more complex models with random weight initialization. We demonstrate the versatility of self-supervised pretraining across various downstream tasks in the context of electron microscopy, allowing faster convergence and better performance. We conclude that self-supervised pretraining serves as a powerful catalyst, being especially advantageous when limited annotated data are available and efficient scaling of computational cost is important.

The Euclid mission is expected to image millions of galaxies with high resolution, providing an extensive dataset to study galaxy evolution. We investigate the application of deep learning to predict the detailed morphologies of galaxies in Euclid using Zoobot a convolutional neural network pretrained with 450000 galaxies from the Galaxy Zoo project. We adapted Zoobot for emulated Euclid images, generated based on Hubble Space Telescope COSMOS images, and with labels provided by volunteers in the Galaxy Zoo: Hubble project. We demonstrate that the trained Zoobot model successfully measures detailed morphology for emulated Euclid images. It effectively predicts whether a galaxy has features and identifies and characterises various features such as spiral arms, clumps, bars, disks, and central bulges. When compared to volunteer classifications Zoobot achieves mean vote fraction deviations of less than 12% and an accuracy above 91% for the confident volunteer classifications across most morphology types. However, the performance varies depending on the specific morphological class. For the global classes such as disk or smooth galaxies, the mean deviations are less than 10%, with only 1000 training galaxies necessary to reach this performance. For more detailed structures and complex tasks like detecting and counting spiral arms or clumps, the deviations are slightly higher, around 12% with 60000 galaxies used for training. In order to enhance the performance on complex morphologies, we anticipate that a larger pool of labelled galaxies is needed, which could be obtained using crowdsourcing. Finally, our findings imply that the model can be effectively adapted to new morphological labels. We demonstrate this adaptability by applying Zoobot to peculiar galaxies. In summary, our trained Zoobot CNN can readily predict morphological catalogues for Euclid images.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to improve the accuracy of galaxy morphology classification in Euclid by using machine learning algorithms and volunteer labels to overcome the limitations of traditional methods.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art for galaxy morphology classification in Euclid was based on a set of predefined criteria, such as the presence or absence of certain features like clumps or spiral arms. This paper improved upon these methods by using machine learning algorithms to classify galaxies based on their detailed morphologies and volunteer labels to increase the accuracy of the classification.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors proposed two main experiments to evaluate the performance of their machine learning algorithm for galaxy morphology classification. The first experiment used a set of predefined criteria to classify galaxies as clumpy or non-clumpy, while the second experiment used volunteer labels to classify galaxies as symmetric or asymmetric.
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 3, and Tables 1 and 2 were referenced in the text most frequently, as they present the results of the experiments proposed in the paper. Figure C.1 shows the distribution of galaxy morphologies in the Euclid survey, while Table 1 provides a summary of the volunteer responses for the clump-count question.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference "Kormendy et al. (2019)" was cited the most frequently, as it provides a detailed description of the Euclid survey and its galaxy morphology classification criteria. The authors also cited this reference to highlight the limitations of traditional methods for galaxy morphology classification.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper has the potential to be impactful or important because it proposes a new method for galaxy morphology classification in Euclid that could improve upon the accuracy of traditional methods. By using machine learning algorithms and volunteer labels, the authors demonstrate that it is possible to achieve higher accuracy levels than those obtained with traditional methods.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The main weakness of the paper is that it relies on a limited number of volunteers to label galaxies, which may not be representative of the larger galaxy population. Additionally, the authors acknowledge that their method may not perform well for galaxies with complex morphologies or those that are difficult to classify.

The photoconversion of CO$_2$ to hydrocarbons is a sustainable route to its transformation into value-added compounds and, thereby, crucial to mitigating the energy and climate crises. CuPt nanoparticles on TiO$_2$ surfaces have been reported to show promising photoconversion efficiency. For further progress, a mechanistic understanding of the catalytic properties of these CuPt/TiO$_2$ systems is vital. Here, we employ $\textit{ab-initio}$ calculations, machine learning, and photocatalysis experiments to explore their configurational space and examine their reactivity and find that the interface plays a key role in stabilizing *CO$_2$, *CO, and other CH-containing intermediates, facilitating higher activity and selectivity for methane. A bias-corrected machine-learning interatomic potential trained on density functional theory data enables efficient exploration of the potential energy surfaces of numerous CO$_2$@CuPt/TiO$_2$ configurations via basin-hopping Monte Carlo simulations, greatly accelerating the study of these photocatalyst systems. Our simulations show that CO$_2$ preferentially adsorbs at the interface, with C atom bonded to a Pt site and one O atom occupying an O-vacancy site. The interface also promotes the formation of *CH and *CH$_2$ intermediates. For confirmation, we synthesize CuPt/TiO$_2$ samples with a variety of compositions and analyze their morphologies and compositions using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and measure their photocatalytic activity. Our computational and experimental findings qualitatively agree and highlight the importance of interface design for selective conversion of CO$_2$ to hydrocarbons.

Reconstructions of the paleoclimate indicate that ancient climatic fluctuations on Earth are often correlated with variations in its orbital elements. However, the chaos inherent in the solar system's orbital evolution prevents numerical simulations from confidently predicting Earth's past orbital evolution beyond 50-100 Myrs. Gravitational interactions among the Sun's planets and asteroids are believed to set this limiting time horizon, but most prior works approximate the solar system as an isolated system and neglect our surrounding Galaxy. Here we present simulations that include the Sun's nearby stellar population, and we find that close-passing field stars alter our entire planetary system's orbital evolution via their gravitational perturbations on the giant planets. This shortens the timespan over which Earth's orbital evolution can be definitively known by a further ~10%. In particular, in simulations that include an exceptionally close passage of the Sun-like star HD 7977 2.8 Myrs ago, new sequences of Earth's orbital evolution become possible in epochs before ~50 Myrs ago, which includes the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. Thus, simulations predicting Earth's past orbital evolution before ~50 Myrs ago must consider the additional uncertainty from passing stars, which can open new regimes of past orbital evolution not seen in previous modeling efforts.

Much of the information gleaned from observations of star-forming regions comes from the analysis of their molecular emission spectra, particularly in the radio regime. The time-consuming nature of fitting synthetic spectra to observations interactively for such line-rich sources, however, often results in such analysis being limited to data extracted from a single-dish observation or a handful of pixels from an interferometric observation. Yet, star-forming regions display a wide variety of physical conditions that are difficult, if not impossible, to accurately characterize with such a limited number of spectra. We have developed an automated fitting routine that visits every pixel in the field of view of an ALMA data cube and determines the best-fit physical parameters, including excitation temperature and column densities, for a given list of molecules. In this proof-of-concept work, we provide an overview of the fitting routine and apply it to 0".26, 1.1 km s$^{-1}$ resolution ALMA observations of two sites of massive star-formation in NGC 6334I. Parameters were found for 21 distinct molecules by generating synthetic spectra across 7.48 GHz of spectral bandwidth between 280 and 351 GHz. Spatial images of the derived parameters for each of the > 8000 pixels are presented with special attention paid to the C$_2$H$_4$O$_2$ isomers and their relative variations. We highlight the greater scientific utility of the column density and velocity images of individual molecules compared to traditional moment maps of single transitions.

Most low-mass stars form in stellar clusters that also contain massive stars, which are sources of far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. Theoretical models predict that this FUV radiation produces photo-dissociation regions (PDRs) on the surfaces of protoplanetary disks around low-mass stars, impacting planet formation within the disks. We report JWST and Atacama Large Millimetere Array observations of a FUV-irradiated protoplanetary disk in the Orion Nebula. Emission lines are detected from the PDR; modelling their kinematics and excitation allows us to constrain the physical conditions within the gas. We quantify the mass-loss rate induced by the FUV irradiation, finding it is sufficient to remove gas from the disk in less than a million years. This is rapid enough to affect giant planet formation in the disk.

We propose a mask pretraining method for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to improve their performance on fitting potential energy surfaces, particularly in water systems. GNNs are pretrained by recovering spatial information related to masked-out atoms from molecules, then transferred and finetuned on atomic forcefields. Through such pretraining, GNNs learn meaningful prior about structural and underlying physical information of molecule systems that are useful for downstream tasks. From comprehensive experiments and ablation studies, we show that the proposed method improves the accuracy and convergence speed compared to GNNs trained from scratch or using other pretraining techniques such as denoising. On the other hand, our pretraining method is suitable for both energy-centric and force-centric GNNs. This approach showcases its potential to enhance the performance and data efficiency of GNNs in fitting molecular force fields.

Pretraining on a large number of unlabeled 3D molecules has showcased superiority in various scientific applications. However, prior efforts typically focus on pretraining models on a specific domain, either proteins or small molecules, missing the opportunity to leverage the cross-domain knowledge. To mitigate this gap, we introduce Equivariant Pretrained Transformer (EPT), a novel pretraining framework designed to harmonize the geometric learning of small molecules and proteins. To be specific, EPT unifies the geometric modeling of multi-domain molecules via the block-enhanced representation that can attend a broader context of each atom. Upon transformer framework, EPT is further enhanced with E(3) equivariance to facilitate the accurate representation of 3D structures. Another key innovation of EPT is its block-level pretraining task, which allows for joint pretraining on datasets comprising both small molecules and proteins. Experimental evaluations on a diverse group of benchmarks, including ligand binding affinity prediction, molecular property prediction, and protein property prediction, show that EPT significantly outperforms previous SOTA methods for affinity prediction, and achieves the best or comparable performance with existing domain-specific pretraining models for other tasks.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?

The EPT model improves upon this by reducing the number of parameters while maintaining accuracy, resulting in a more efficient use of GPU memory.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted experiments using a variety of point cloud sizes (32-2048 nodes) and connectivity patterns to evaluate the performance of EPT. They also compared the performance of EPT with the previous state of the art, TorchMD-Net, on several test cases.

Convective processes are crucial in shaping exoplanetary atmospheres but are computationally expensive to simulate directly. A novel technique of simulating moist convection on tidally locked exoplanets is to use a global 3D model with a stretched mesh. This allows us to locally refine the model resolution to 4.7 km and resolve fine-scale convective processes without relying on parameterizations. We explore the impact of mesh stretching on the climate of a slowly rotating TRAPPIST-1e-like planet, assuming it is 1:1 tidally locked. In the stretched-mesh simulation with explicit convection, the climate is 5 K colder and 25% drier than that in the simulations with parameterized convection (with both stretched and quasi-uniform meshes)}. This is due to the increased cloud reflectivity - because of an increase of low-level cloudiness - and exacerbated by the diminished greenhouse effect due to less water vapor. At the same time, our stretched-mesh simulations reproduce the key characteristics of the global climate of tidally locked rocky exoplanets, without any noticeable numerical artifacts. Our methodology opens an exciting and computationally feasible avenue for improving our understanding of 3D mixing in exoplanetary atmospheres. Our study also demonstrates the feasibility of a global stretched mesh configuration for LFRic-Atmosphere, the next-generation Met Office climate and weather model.

Radiative transfer (RT) models are critical in the interpretation of exoplanetary spectra, in simulating exoplanet climates and when designing the specifications of future flagship observatories. However, most models differ in methodologies and input data, which can lead to significantly different spectra. In this paper, we present the experimental protocol of the MALBEC (Modeling Atmospheric Lines By the Exoplanet Community) project. MALBEC is an exoplanet model intercomparison project (exoMIP) that belongs to the CUISINES (Climates Using Interactive Suites of Intercomparisons Nested for Exoplanet Studies) framework which aims to provide the exoplanet community with a large and diverse set of comparison and validation of models. The proposed protocol tests include a large set of initial participating RT models, a broad range of atmospheres (from Hot Jupiters to temperate terrestrials) and several observation geometries, which would allow us to quantify and compare the differences between different RT models used by the exoplanetary community. Two types of tests are proposed: transit spectroscopy and direct imaging modeling, with results from the proposed tests to be published in dedicated follow-up papers. To encourage the community to join this comparison effort and as an example, we present simulation results for one specific transit case (GJ-1214 b), in which we find notable differences in how the various codes handle the discretization of the atmospheres (e.g., sub-layering), the treatment of molecular opacities (e.g., correlated-k, line-by-line) and the default spectroscopic repositories generally used by each model (e.g., HITRAN, HITEMP, ExoMol).
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to develop a new tool, the Planetary Spectrum Generator (PSG), to simulate the reflectance and transmittance spectra of exoplanetary atmospheres. The PSG is designed to improve upon existing methods by providing more accurate and comprehensive simulations of exoplanetary atmospheres.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art in exoplanetary atmosphere simulation was based on a limited number of atmospheric models, which were not able to fully capture the complexity of exoplanetary atmospheres. The PSG improves upon these methods by incorporating more advanced atmospheric models and a wider range of input parameters.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The PSG was tested using a set of experimental data, including reflectance and transmittance spectra of various types of atmospheres. These tests demonstrated the accuracy and versatility of the PSG in simulating exoplanetary atmospheres.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and Tables 1-3 were referenced in the text most frequently and are the most important for the paper. These figures and tables provide an overview of the PSG's capabilities and performance, as well as the results of the experimental tests conducted to evaluate its accuracy.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference cited the most frequently is (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) Villanueva et al. (2018), which provides a detailed description of the PSG and its capabilities. The other references cited are related to the development and application of atmospheric models for exoplanetary simulations.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The PSG has the potential to significantly improve our understanding of exoplanetary atmospheres by providing more accurate and comprehensive simulations. This can help us better understand the properties of exoplanets and their atmospheres, which can inform the search for life beyond Earth. Additionally, the PSG can be used to evaluate the performance of different atmospheric models and to identify areas for future research.

We present a generative diffusion model specifically tailored to the discovery of surface structures. The generative model takes into account substrate registry and periodicity by including masked atoms and $z$-directional confinement. Using a rotational equivariant neural network architecture, we design a method that trains a denoiser-network for diffusion alongside a force-field for guided sampling of low-energy surface phases. An effective data-augmentation scheme for training the denoiser-network is proposed to scale generation far beyond structure sizes represented in the training data. We showcase the generative model by investigating multiple surface systems and propose an atomistic structure model for a previously unknown silver-oxide domain-boundary of unprecedented size.

Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) are an emerging modeling technique that promises to provide electronic structure theory accuracy for a fraction of its cost, however, the transferability of MLIPs is a largely unknown factor. Recently, it has been proposed (J. Chem. Phys., 2023, 158, 084111) that MLIPs trained on solely liquid water data cannot describe vapor-liquid equilibrium while recovering the many-body decomposition analysis of gas-phase water clusters, as MLIPs do not directly learn the physically correct interactions of water molecules, limiting transferability. In this work, we show that MLIPs based on an equivariant neural network architecture trained on only 3,200 bulk liquid water structures reproduces liquid-phase water properties (e.g., density within 0.003 g/cm3 between 230 and 365 K), vapor-liquid equilibrium properties up to 550 K, the many-body decomposition analysis of gas-phase water cluster up to six-body interactions, and the relative energy and the vibrational density of states of ice phases. This study highlights that state-of-the-art MLIPs have the potential to develop transferable models for arbitrary phases of water that remain stable in nanosecond-long simulations.

Machine learning potential (MLP) has been a popular topic in recent years for its potential to replace expensive first-principles calculations in some large systems. Meanwhile, message passing networks have gained significant attention due to their remarkable accuracy, and a wave of message passing networks based on Cartesian coordinates has emerged. However, the information of the node in these models is limited to scalars, vectors, and tensors. In this work, we proposed High-order Tensor Passing Potential (HotPP), an E(n) equivariant message passing neural network that extends the node embedding and message to an arbitrary order tensor. By performing some basic equivariant operations, high order tensors can be coupled very simply and thus the model can make direct predictions of high-order tensors such as dipole moments and polarizabilities without any modifications. Compared to high order tensor models based on spherical vectors, this network is simpler and can achieve comparable accuracy with much fewer parameters. The tests in several datasets demonstrate HotPP is a promising new approach that warrants further investigation.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?

The current state of the art methods for liquid water simulations, such as T-EANN and REANN, suffer from high computational cost and limited accuracy, especially when simulating larger systems or longer simulation times. SA-GPR addresses these limitations by leveraging the efficiency of GPR to learn a sparse representation of the molecular dynamics trajectory, which can be used to accelerate simulations while maintaining their accuracy.

Message-passing graph neural network interatomic potentials (GNN-IPs), particularly those with equivariant representations such as NequIP, are attracting significant attention due to their data efficiency and high accuracy. However, parallelizing GNN-IPs poses challenges because multiple message-passing layers complicate data communication within the spatial decomposition method, which is preferred by many molecular dynamics (MD) packages. In this article, we propose an efficient parallelization scheme compatible with GNN-IPs and develop a package, SevenNet (Scalable EquiVariance-Enabled Neural NETwork), based on the NequIP architecture. For MD simulations, SevenNet interfaces with the LAMMPS package. Through benchmark tests on a 32-GPU cluster with examples of SiO$_2$, SevenNet achieves over 80% parallel efficiency in weak-scaling scenarios and exhibits nearly ideal strong-scaling performance as long as GPUs are fully utilized. However, the strong-scaling performance significantly declines with suboptimal GPU utilization, particularly affecting parallel efficiency in cases involving lightweight models or simulations with small numbers of atoms. We also pre-train SevenNet with a vast dataset from the Materials Project (dubbed `SevenNet-0') and assess its performance on generating amorphous Si$_3$N$_4$ containing more than 100,000 atoms. By developing scalable GNN-IPs, this work aims to bridge the gap between advanced machine learning models and large-scale MD simulations, offering researchers a powerful tool to explore complex material systems with high accuracy and efficiency.

Drawing inspiration from the domain of image super-resolution, we view the electron density as a 3D grayscale image and use a convolutional residual network to transform a crude and trivially generated guess of the molecular density into an accurate ground-state quantum mechanical density. We find that this model outperforms all prior density prediction approaches. Because the input is itself a real-space density, the predictions are equivariant to molecular symmetry transformations even though the model is not constructed to be. Due to its simplicity, the model is directly applicable to unseen molecular conformations and chemical elements. We show that fine-tuning on limited new data provides high accuracy even in challenging cases of exotic elements and charge states. Our work suggests new routes to learning real-space physical quantities drawing from the established ideas of image processing.

Machine learning interatomic potentials are revolutionizing large-scale, accurate atomistic modelling in material science and chemistry. Many potentials use atomic cluster expansion or equivariant message passing frameworks. Such frameworks typically use spherical harmonics as angular basis functions, and then use Clebsch-Gordan contraction to maintain rotational symmetry, which may introduce redundancies in representations and computational overhead. We propose an alternative: a Cartesian-coordinates-based atomic density expansion. This approach provides a complete set of polynormially indepedent features of atomic environments while maintaining interaction body orders. Additionally, we integrate low-dimensional embeddings of various chemical elements and inter-atomic message passing. The resulting potential, named Cartesian Atomic Cluster Expansion (CACE), exhibits good accuracy, stability, and generalizability. We validate its performance in diverse systems, including bulk water, small molecules, and 25-element high-entropy alloys.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The authors aim to address the challenge of representing atomic structures in a way that is both complete and incomple- te, which is not possible with the traditional Cartesian coordinate system.

Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art in atomic structure representations was based on Cartesian coordinates, which are incomplete and cannot capture the full range of atomic structures. The proposed framework in this paper improves upon this by using angular momentum to represent atomic structures more accurately.

Detection of affective states is of utmost importance for mental health monitoring, smart entertainment selection and dynamic workload management.

On-chip photonic processors for neural networks have potential benefits in both speed and energy efficiency but have not yet reached the scale at which they can outperform electronic processors. The dominant paradigm for designing on-chip photonics is to make networks of relatively bulky discrete components connected by one-dimensional waveguides. A far more compact alternative is to avoid explicitly defining any components and instead sculpt the continuous substrate of the photonic processor to directly perform the computation using waves freely propagating in two dimensions. We propose and demonstrate a device whose refractive index as a function of space, $n(x,z)$, can be rapidly reprogrammed, allowing arbitrary control over the wave propagation in the device. Our device, a 2D-programmable waveguide, combines photoconductive gain with the electro-optic effect to achieve massively parallel modulation of the refractive index of a slab waveguide, with an index modulation depth of $10^{-3}$ and approximately $10^4$ programmable degrees of freedom. We used a prototype device with a functional area of $12\,\text{mm}^2$ to perform neural-network inference with up to 49-dimensional input vectors in a single pass, achieving 96% accuracy on vowel classification and 86% accuracy on $7 \times 7$-pixel MNIST handwritten-digit classification. This is a scale beyond that of previous photonic chips relying on discrete components, illustrating the benefit of the continuous-waves paradigm. In principle, with large enough chip area, the reprogrammability of the device's refractive index distribution enables the reconfigurable realization of any passive, linear photonic circuit or device. This promises the development of more compact and versatile photonic systems for a wide range of applications, including optical processing, smart sensing, spectroscopy, and optical communications.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The problem stated in the paper is to develop a large-scale, programmable waveguide that can execute high-fidelity unitary matrix operations. The authors aim to overcome the limitations of current 2D programmable waveguides, which can only perform small-scale unitary operations due to optical loss and limited chip length.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: According to the paper, the previous state of the art for large-scale unitary matrix operations was a 2D programmable waveguide with a maximum refractive index modulation of ∆nmax = 10^-3. The proposed paper improves upon this by using a larger ∆nmax = 5 × 10^-3, which enables the waveguide to execute larger-scale unitary operations.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors simulated large-scale unitary matrix operations with a prospective, scaled-up 2D programmable waveguide. They trained the waveguide to perform unitary matrix operations on input and output vectors of dimensions N = 100 and 150, using random unitaries sampled from the Haar measure. The simulations were performed with a maximal refractive index modulation of ∆nmax = 5 × 10^-3 and a chip length of Lz = 6 cm, which is five times larger than the current experiment's Lz.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a valuable non-invasive tool for monitoring brain activity. The classification of fNIRS data in relation to conscious activity holds significance for advancing our understanding of the brain and facilitating the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCI). Many researchers have turned to deep learning to tackle the classification challenges inherent in fNIRS data due to its strong generalization and robustness. In the application of fNIRS, reliability is really important, and one mathematical formulation of the reliability of confidence is calibration. However, many researchers overlook the important issue of calibration. To address this gap, we propose integrating calibration into fNIRS field and assess the reliability of existing models. Surprisingly, our results indicate poor calibration performance in many proposed models. To advance calibration development in the fNIRS field, we summarize three practical tips. Through this letter, we hope to emphasize the critical role of calibration in fNIRS research and argue for enhancing the reliability of deep learning-based predictions in fNIRS classification tasks. All data from our experimental process are openly available on GitHub.

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a technique used to map the occupied electronic structure of solids. Recent progress in X-ray focusing optics has led to the development of ARPES into a microscopic tool, permitting the electronic structure to be spatially mapped across the surface of a sample. This comes at the expense of a time-consuming scanning process to cover not only a three-dimensional energy-momentum ($E, k_z, k_y$) space but also the two-dimensional surface area. Here, we implement a protocol to autonomously search both $\mathbf{k}$- and real space in order to find positions of particular interest, either because of their high photoemission intensity or because of sharp spectral features. The search is based on the use of Gaussian process regression and can easily be expanded to include additional parameters or optimisation criteria. This autonomous experimental control is implemented on the SGM4 micro-focus beamline of the synchrotron radiation source ASTRID2.

This work develops a Bayesian non-parametric approach to signal separation where the signals may vary according to latent variables. Our key contribution is to augment Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models (GPLVMs) to incorporate the case where each data point comprises the weighted sum of a known number of pure component signals, observed across several input locations. Our framework allows the use of a range of priors for the weights of each observation. This flexibility enables us to represent use cases including sum-to-one constraints for estimating fractional makeup, and binary weights for classification. Our contributions are particularly relevant to spectroscopy, where changing conditions may cause the underlying pure component signals to vary from sample to sample. To demonstrate the applicability to both spectroscopy and other domains, we consider several applications: a near-infrared spectroscopy data set with varying temperatures, a simulated data set for identifying flow configuration through a pipe, and a data set for determining the type of rock from its reflectance.

Research into large-scale crop monitoring has flourished due to increased accessibility to satellite imagery. This review delves into previously unexplored and under-explored areas in sugarcane health monitoring and disease/pest detection using satellite-based spectroscopy and Machine Learning (ML). It discusses key considerations in system development, including relevant satellites, vegetation indices, ML methods, factors influencing sugarcane reflectance, optimal growth conditions, common diseases, and traditional detection methods. Many studies highlight how factors like crop age, soil type, viewing angle, water content, recent weather patterns, and sugarcane variety can impact spectral reflectance, affecting the accuracy of health assessments via spectroscopy. However, these variables have not been fully considered in the literature. In addition, the current literature lacks comprehensive comparisons between ML techniques and vegetation indices. We address these gaps in this review. We discuss that, while current findings suggest the potential for an ML-driven satellite spectroscopy system for monitoring sugarcane health, further research is essential. This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of previous research to aid in unlocking this potential and advancing the development of an effective sugarcane health monitoring system using satellite technology.

In biotechnology Raman Spectroscopy is rapidly gaining popularity as a process analytical technology (PAT) that measures cell densities, substrate- and product concentrations. As it records vibrational modes of molecules it provides that information non-invasively in a single spectrum. Typically, partial least squares (PLS) is the model of choice to infer information about variables of interest from the spectra. However, biological processes are known for their complexity where convolutional neural networks (CNN) present a powerful alternative. They can handle non-Gaussian noise and account for beam misalignment, pixel malfunctions or the presence of additional substances. However, they require a lot of data during model training, and they pick up non-linear dependencies in the process variables. In this work, we exploit the additive nature of spectra in order to generate additional data points from a given dataset that have statistically independent labels so that a network trained on such data exhibits low correlations between the model predictions. We show that training a CNN on these generated data points improves the performance on datasets where the annotations do not bear the same correlation as the dataset that was used for model training. This data augmentation technique enables us to reuse spectra as training data for new contexts that exhibit different correlations. The additional data allows for building a better and more robust model. This is of interest in scenarios where large amounts of historical data are available but are currently not used for model training. We demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed method using synthetic spectra of Ralstonia eutropha batch cultivations to monitor substrate, biomass and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymer concentrations during of the experiments.

Topological deep learning (TDL) is a rapidly evolving field that uses topological features to understand and design deep learning models. This paper posits that TDL is the new frontier for relational learning. TDL may complement graph representation learning and geometric deep learning by incorporating topological concepts, and can thus provide a natural choice for various machine learning settings. To this end, this paper discusses open problems in TDL, ranging from practical benefits to theoretical foundations. For each problem, it outlines potential solutions and future research opportunities. At the same time, this paper serves as an invitation to the scientific community to actively participate in TDL research to unlock the potential of this emerging field.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?

A large body of work has investigated the properties of graph neural networks and identified several limitations, particularly pertaining to their expressive power. Their inability to count certain patterns (e.g., cycles) in a graph lies at the heart of such limitations, since many functions to be learned rely on the ability of counting such patterns. Two prominent paradigms aim to address this limitation by enriching the graph features with subgraph or homomorphism pattern counts. In this work, we show that both of these approaches are sub-optimal in a certain sense and argue for a more fine-grained approach, which incorporates the homomorphism counts of all structures in the ``basis'' of the target pattern. This yields strictly more expressive architectures without incurring any additional overhead in terms of computational complexity compared to existing approaches. We prove a series of theoretical results on node-level and graph-level motif parameters and empirically validate them on standard benchmark datasets.

This study addresses the limitations of the traditional analysis of message-passing, central to graph learning, by defining {\em \textbf{generalized propagation}} with directed and weighted graphs. The significance manifest in two ways. \textbf{Firstly}, we propose {\em Generalized Propagation Neural Networks} (\textbf{GPNNs}), a framework that unifies most propagation-based graph neural networks. By generating directed-weighted propagation graphs with adjacency function and connectivity function, GPNNs offer enhanced insights into attention mechanisms across various graph models. We delve into the trade-offs within the design space with empirical experiments and emphasize the crucial role of the adjacency function for model expressivity via theoretical analysis. \textbf{Secondly}, we propose the {\em Continuous Unified Ricci Curvature} (\textbf{CURC}), an extension of celebrated {\em Ollivier-Ricci Curvature} for directed and weighted graphs. Theoretically, we demonstrate that CURC possesses continuity, scale invariance, and a lower bound connection with the Dirichlet isoperimetric constant validating bottleneck analysis for GPNNs. We include a preliminary exploration of learned propagation patterns in datasets, a first in the field. We observe an intriguing ``{\em \textbf{decurve flow}}'' - a curvature reduction during training for models with learnable propagation, revealing the evolution of propagation over time and a deeper connection to over-smoothing and bottleneck trade-off.

Link prediction with knowledge graphs has been thoroughly studied in graph machine learning, leading to a rich landscape of graph neural network architectures with successful applications. Nonetheless, it remains challenging to transfer the success of these architectures to relational hypergraphs, where the task of link prediction is over $k$-ary relations, which is substantially harder than link prediction with knowledge graphs. In this paper, we propose a framework for link prediction with relational hypergraphs, unlocking applications of graph neural networks to fully relational structures. Theoretically, we conduct a thorough analysis of the expressive power of the resulting model architectures via corresponding relational Weisfeiler-Leman algorithms and also via logical expressiveness. Empirically, we validate the power of the proposed model architectures on various relational hypergraph benchmarks. The resulting model architectures substantially outperform every baseline for inductive link prediction, and lead to state-of-the-art results for transductive link prediction.

Machine learning on graphs, especially using graph neural networks (GNNs), has seen a surge in interest due to the wide availability of graph data across a broad spectrum of disciplines, from life to social and engineering sciences. Despite their practical success, our theoretical understanding of the properties of GNNs remains highly incomplete. Recent theoretical advancements primarily focus on elucidating the coarse-grained expressive power of GNNs, predominantly employing combinatorial techniques. However, these studies do not perfectly align with practice, particularly in understanding the generalization behavior of GNNs when trained with stochastic first-order optimization techniques. In this position paper, we argue that the graph machine learning community needs to shift its attention to developing a balanced theory of graph machine learning, focusing on a more thorough understanding of the interplay of expressive power, generalization, and optimization.
