Introduction

The Open MatSci ML Toolkit introduces a flexible benchmarking framework tailored for machine learning applications in solid-state materials modeling. It encapsulates nearly 1.5 million ground-state materials drawn from various datasets and fully integrates the OpenCatalyst dataset, facilitating a variety of data formats and learning methodologies.

Getting Started with Open MatSci ML Toolkit

Before you dive into using this toolkit, think of it as a treasure chest packed with diverse tools for modeling materials. To start unlocking its potential, you need to follow a series of well-defined steps:

• Installation: You can install the toolkit using Docker, Conda, or pip, depending on your preferences and environment.
• Choose a Task: Decide on the materials modeling tasks you want to implement (e.g., energy prediction, force prediction).
• Script It Out: Use Python scripts or Jupyter notebooks for practical implementation.
• Scalability: Scale your experiments from local desktops to distributed computing environments.

Installation Guide

To get the Open MatSci ML Toolkit up and running, choose from one of the installation methods specified below:

• Using Docker: Utilize the provided Dockerfile for a seamless installation.
• Using Conda: Create a new conda environment with the command:

  conda env create -n matsciml --file conda.yml

  And install dependencies using:

  pip install .[all]

• Using pip: Leverage pip for installation with an extra index URL:

  pip install -f https://data.dgl.ai/wheels/repo.html .[all]

Understanding the Code with an Analogy

Imagine you are a chef in a bustling restaurant kitchen (the Open MatSci ML Toolkit). Your toolkit is full of cutting-edge appliances and utensils (the features and functionalities). To prepare a variety of dishes (tasks like energy prediction and property prediction), you need to choose the right combination of your tools and ingredients (datasets) while considering the specific needs of each dish. Each task can be viewed as a different cuisine (e.g., Italian for energy predictions, Chinese for force predictions), and the toolkit allows you to master each cuisine seamlessly using flexible methods.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using the MatSci ML Toolkit, consider the following troubleshooting ideas:

• Check installation paths and dependencies if you face errors during installation.
• Ensure you’re using compatible versions of PyTorch and DGL.
• Review the documentation if you need specific examples and usage.
