DeepEOSNet: Capturing the dependency on thermodynamic state in property prediction tasks

  • 分两路处理:图神经网络抓分子结构,MLP处理温度/压力/组分等状态变量
  • 在蒸气压预测上优于现有模型,混合物摩尔体积预测表现相当
  • 特别适合状态空间数据稀疏、跨分子规律相似的场景,可迁移性强

我们提出一种机器学习架构,以更好捕捉热力学性质对独立状态的依赖关系。在预测状态依赖的热力学性质时,模型需同时考虑分子结构和由温度、压力、组分等独立变量描述的热力学状态。现有分子机器学习模型通常通过将状态信息加入分子指纹向量或嵌入显式(半经验)热力学关系来实现。本文提出将分子结构与状态依赖信息处理分离为两个独立网络通道:图神经网络与多层感知机,其输出通过点积融合。该方法称为DeepEOSNet,基于DeepONet架构思想:不学习算子,而是学习状态依赖关系,具备预测物态方程(EOS)潜力。通过三个案例研究验证性能,包括蒸气压随温度变化、混合物摩尔体积随组成、温度、压力变化的预测。结果表明,DeepEOSNet在蒸气压预测中表现更优,混合物摩尔体积预测表现与之前工作中的先进图基模型相当。尤其在状态域数据稀疏且不同分子间输出函数结构相似时,具有显著潜力。该框架可轻松迁移到其他分子机器学习架构中,为物性预测提供可行方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We propose a machine learning (ML) architecture to better capture the dependency of thermodynamic properties on the independent states. When predicting state-dependent thermodynamic properties, ML models need to account for both molecular structure and the thermodynamic state, described by independent variables, typically temperature, pressure, and composition. Modern molecular ML models typically include state information by adding it to molecular fingerprint vectors or by embedding explicit (semi-empirical) thermodynamic relations. Here, we propose to rather split the information processing on the molecular structure and the dependency on states into two separate network channels: a graph neural network and a multilayer perceptron, whose output is combined by a dot product. We refer to our approach as DeepEOSNet, as this idea is based on the DeepONet architecture [Lu et al. (2021), Nat. Mach. Intell.]: instead of operators, we learn state dependencies, with the possibility to predict equation of states (EOS). We investigate the predictive performance of DeepEOSNet by means of three case studies, which include the prediction of vapor pressure as a function of temperature, and mixture molar volume as a function of composition, temperature, and pressure. Our results show superior performance of DeepEOSNet for predicting vapor pressure and comparable performance for predicting mixture molar volume compared to state-of-research graph-based thermodynamic prediction models from our earlier works. In fact, we see large potential of DeepEOSNet in cases where data is sparse in the state domain and the output function is structurally similar across different molecules. The concept of DeepEOSNet can easily be transferred to other ML architectures in molecular context, and thus provides a viable option for property prediction.
