An Ontology for Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.23219v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) approximate quantum-mechanical energies and forces---conventionally computed by density functional theory (DFT) or wave-function methods---at a fraction of the cost. The field encompasses a growing ecosystem of algorithms, training datasets, hyperparameters, and target materials, yet the metadata needed to systematically compare, reproduce, and build upon MLIP studies remains scattered across papers, scripts, and ad-hoc file formats. We present the MLIPs ontology, an OWL 2 DL ontology that captures the concepts needed to describe MLIP methods, their hyperparameters, training datasets with DFT provenance, and published benchmarks. The ontology is organized into three modules---Method, Training Da
