Machine-learned (ML) XC-functionals promise improved accuracy, but overfit to training energies and basis sets without proper regularization. We introduce Derivative Informed XC-Loss (DI-Loss), a loss that regularizes ML-XC training by supervising energy gradients on the Grassmannian of density matr…
