Scaling deep learning for materials discovery
What this work does
Graph-network energy predictors filter candidate crystals; DFT relaxation/evaluation adds verified computational labels for subsequent active-learning rounds.
Connection to discovery
Shows that discovery training can be supervised active learning with a computational oracle, providing a useful alternative to LLM-agent RL.
Evidence
Inspected the model/DFT data cycle, compositional/structural candidate generation and computational stability/generalization comparisons.
Scope and limitations
DFT-predicted thermodynamic stability is distinct from synthesizability and physical realization. Candidate generators and approximate computational physics constrain the claimed search space.
