Open access
Smith, J. S., Isayev, O., Roitberg, A. E.·2017·Chemical Science

Abstract

We demonstrate how a deep neural network (NN) trained on a data set of quantum mechanical (QM) DFT calculated energies can learn an accurate and transferable atomistic potential for organic molecules containing H, C, N, and O atoms.

  • ANI-1 predicted DFT energies of test set molecules with up to 10 heavy atoms with RMSE values below 0.57 kcal/mol.

    “It predicted DFT energies of the test set molecules with up to 10 heavy atoms very well, with the resulting RMSE values below 0.57 kcal/mol.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
