In collaboration with the association Materials Research Society, Preferred Computational Chemistry, Inc. (PFCC) will host a free webinar titled “History towards Universal Neural Network Potential for Material Discovery“.
The rapid advancements of Artificial Intelligence technology have brought about revolutionary changes in materials discovery.
Neural Network Potential (NNP) describes molecular dynamics force field using a neural network, and many physical properties can be simulated using this single neural network. The webinar reviews the history of NNP research to understand how dataset & neural network architecture are improved.
We also describe the effort to develop a universal neural network and introduce the “PreFerred Potential (PFP)” implemented in Matlantis.
