Machine learning interatomic potentials keep getting more accurate, but also far heavier, trading speed for gains in accuracy. This talk introduces Angular Relational Knowledge (ARK) distillation, which shrinks large MLIPs up to ~12x while keeping their accuracy across domains (OMat24, OC20, and SPICE) and architectures (MACE, GemNet, and EquiformerV2), enabling efficient catalyst discovery at scale.
Speaker Dr. Seokhyun Choung

Ongoing Reading Group

LeMaterial Reading Group

The LeMaterial Reading Group is a recurring gathering where we discuss recent papers at the intersection of AI and materials science. Sessions are co-hosted by Entalpic and The AI Alliance.

We cover foundation models, chemistry ML, representation learning, and benchmarks.
