Active rejection enables reliable generalization of universal machine-learning interatomic potentials
Mingxiang Luo, Xinnan Mao, Lu Wang, Lei Bai, Feng Ding, Yuqiang Li
Universal machine learning interatomic potentials (uMLIPs) bridge quantum-mechanical accuracy and large-scale molecular dynamics, but the cost of high-accuracy calculations such as r$^2$SCAN limits training to datasets that remain small relative to the open materials space. Stron…
