机器学习原子间势(MLPs)是快速、数据驱动的原子体系势能面代理模型,可将从头算分子动力学(MD)模拟加速数个数量级。当前普遍通过测试集上的能量与力预测误差衡量MLP性能,但低误差并不保证在实际模拟中表现良好。后者需基于加速模拟获得的物理指标进行评估,而此类指标计算复杂且需领域知识。为此,本文提出一个基准,自动量化MLPs在高压氢液液相变模拟中的表现。该基准包含h-llpt-24数据集,提供不同温度与质量密度下由密度泛函理论MD模拟生成的参考几何构型、能量、力与应力。其配套Python代码可自动运行MLP加速的MD模拟,并定量比较与可视化压力、稳定分子比例、扩散系数及径向分布函数。应用该基准发现,多个先进MLP无法再现液液相变。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Machine-learning interatomic potentials (MLPs) are fast, data-driven surrogate models of atomistic systems' potential energy surfaces that can accelerate ab-initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations by several orders of magnitude. The performance of MLPs is commonly measured as the prediction error in energies and forces on data not used in their training. While low prediction errors on a test set are necessary, they do not guarantee good performance in MD simulations. The latter requires physically motivated performance measures obtained from running accelerated simulations. However, the adoption of such measures has been limited by the effort and domain knowledge required to calculate and interpret them. To overcome this limitation, we present a benchmark that automatically quantifies the performance of MLPs in MD simulations of a liquid-liquid phase transition in hydrogen under pressure, a challenging benchmark system. The benchmark's h-llpt-24 dataset provides reference geometries, energies, forces, and stresses from density functional theory MD simulations at different temperatures and mass densities. The benchmark's Python code automatically runs MLP-accelerated MD simulations and calculates, quantitatively compares and visualizes pressures, stable molecular fractions, diffusion coefficients, and radial distribution functions. Employing this benchmark, we show that several state-of-the-art MLPs fail to reproduce the liquid-liquid phase transition.
