Encoding quantum-chemical knowledge into machine-learning models of complex molecular properties

Ksenia Briling

Statistical (machine-learning, ML) models are more and more often used in computational chemistry as a substitute to more expensive ab initio and parametrizable methods. While the ML algorithms are capable of learning physical laws implicitly from data, ad ...
