DeePKS-kit: a package for developing machine learning-based chemically accurate energy and density functional models

29 Dec 2020  ·  Yixiao Chen, Linfeng Zhang, Han Wang, Weinan E ·

We introduce DeePKS-kit, an open-source software package for developing machine learning based energy and density functional models. DeePKS-kit is interfaced with PyTorch, an open-source machine learning library, and PySCF, an ab initio computational chemistry program that provides simple and customized tools for developing quantum chemistry codes. It supports the DeePHF and DeePKS methods. In addition to explaining the details in the methodology and the software, we also provide an example of developing a chemically accurate model for water clusters.
