Atomic-scale representation and statistical learning of tensorial properties
This chapter discusses the importance of incorporating three-dimensional
symmetries in the context of statistical learning models geared towards the
interpolation of the tensorial properties of atomic-scale structures. We focus
on Gaussian process regression, and in particular on the construction of
structural representations, and the associated kernel functions, that are
endowed with the geometric covariance properties compatible with those of the
learning targets. We summarize the general formulation of such a
symmetry-adapted Gaussian process regression model, and how it can be
implemented based on a scheme that generalizes the popular smooth overlap of
atomic positions representation. We give examples of the performance of this
framework when learning the polarizability and the ground-state electron
density of a molecule
Building nonparametric -body force fields using Gaussian process regression
Constructing a classical potential suited to simulate a given atomic system
is a remarkably difficult task. This chapter presents a framework under which
this problem can be tackled, based on the Bayesian construction of
nonparametric force fields of a given order using Gaussian process (GP) priors.
The formalism of GP regression is first reviewed, particularly in relation to
its application in learning local atomic energies and forces. For accurate
regression it is fundamental to incorporate prior knowledge into the GP kernel
function. To this end, this chapter details how properties of smoothness,
invariance and interaction order of a force field can be encoded into
corresponding kernel properties. A range of kernels is then proposed,
possessing all the required properties and an adjustable parameter
governing the interaction order modelled. The order best suited to describe
a given system can be found automatically within the Bayesian framework by
maximisation of the marginal likelihood. The procedure is first tested on a toy
model of known interaction and later applied to two real materials described at
the DFT level of accuracy. The models automatically selected for the two
materials were found to be in agreement with physical intuition. More in
general, it was found that lower order (simpler) models should be chosen when
the data are not sufficient to resolve more complex interactions. Low GPs
can be further sped up by orders of magnitude by constructing the corresponding
tabulated force field, here named "MFF".Comment: 31 pages, 11 figures, book chapte

Big-Data-Driven Materials Science and its FAIR Data Infrastructure
This chapter addresses the forth paradigm of materials research -- big-data
driven materials science. Its concepts and state-of-the-art are described, and
its challenges and chances are discussed. For furthering the field, Open Data
and an all-embracing sharing, an efficient data infrastructure, and the rich
ecosystem of computer codes used in the community are of critical importance.
For shaping this forth paradigm and contributing to the development or
discovery of improved and novel materials, data must be what is now called FAIR
-- Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-purposable/Re-usable. This sets
the stage for advances of methods from artificial intelligence that operate on
large data sets to find trends and patterns that cannot be obtained from
individual calculations and not even directly from high-throughput studies.
Recent progress is reviewed and demonstrated, and the chapter is concluded by a
forward-looking perspective, addressing important not yet solved challenges.Comment: submitted to the Handbook of Materials Modeling (eds. S. Yip and W.
