All-atom Diffusion Transformers: Unified generative modelling of molecules and materials

ICML 2025poster

Diffusion models are the standard toolkit for generative modelling of 3D atomic systems. However, for different types of atomic systems -- such as molecules and materials -- the generative processes are usually highly specific to the target system despite the underlying physics being the same. We in…

Fine-Tuned Language Models Generate Stable Inorganic Materials as Text

ICLR 2024poster

We propose fine-tuning large language models for generation of stable materials. While unorthodox, fine-tuning large language models on text-encoded atomistic data is simple to implement yet reliable, with around 90\% of sampled structures obeying physical constraints on atom positions and charges.…

From Molecules to Materials: Pre-training Large Generalizable Models for Atomic Property Prediction

ICLR 2024poster

Foundation models have been transformational in machine learning fields such as natural language processing and computer vision. Similar success in atomic property prediction has been limited due to the challenges of training effective models across multiple chemical domains. To address this, we int…

Spherical Channels for Modeling Atomic Interactions

NeurIPS 2022accept

Modeling the energy and forces of atomic systems is a fundamental problem in computational chemistry with the potential to help address many of the world’s most pressing problems, including those related to energy scarcity and climate change. These calculations are traditionally performed using Dens…
