Title:Kohn-Sham equations asregularizer: building prior knowledge into machine-learned physics

Time:10:30 am, November 20th, 2020

Speaker:Dr. Li Li, Google Accelerated Science team

Abstract: 

Including prior knowledgeis important for effective machine learning models in physics, and is usually achieved by explicitly adding loss terms or constraints on model architectures. Prior knowledge embedded in the physics computation itself rarely draws attention. We show that solving the Kohn-Sham equations when training neural networks for the exchange-correlation functional provides animplicit regularization that greatly improves generalization. Two separations suffice for learning the entire one-dimensional H2 dissociation curve within chemical accuracy, including the strongly correlated region. Our models also generalize to unseen types of molecules and overcome self-interaction error.
