arXiv:2606.00776v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fast and accurate prediction of crystal properties is a central challenge in new materials design. Graph neural networks and Transformer-based models have emerged as powerful tools for this task due to their ability to encode the local structural environment of atoms within a crystal. However, these models are data-hungry, and in practice, labeled data for crystal properties are scarce. Pretraining-finetuning strategies, particularly those based on diffusion models, have shown promise in addressing these limitations. In this work, we introduce a
The increasing availability of computational resources and advancements in deep learning, particularly diffusion models, enables new approaches to materials science challenges.
Efficient and accurate prediction of crystal properties is crucial for accelerating the design and discovery of new materials with desired functionalities, impacting multiple industries.
Traditional data-hungry material prediction models are augmented by pretraining strategies using diffusion models, enhancing accuracy even with scarce labeled data.
