SchNetPack aims to provide accessible atomistic neural networks that can be trained and applied out-of-the-box, while still being extensible to custom atomistic architectures.
- SchNet - an end-to-end continuous-filter CNN for molecules and materials [1-3]
- wACSF - weighted atom-centered symmetry functions [4,5]
Note: We will keep working on improving the documentation, supporting more architectures and datasets and many more features.
- python 3
- ASE
- numpy
- PyTorch (>=0.4.1)
- h5py
- Optional: tensorboardX
Note: We recommend using a GPU for training the neural networks.
pip install schnetpack
git clone https://github.com/atomistic-machine-learning/schnetpack.git
cd schnetpack
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install .
cd ..
You're ready to go!
The best place to start is training a SchNetPack model on a common benchmark dataset. The example scripts provided by SchNetPack are inserted into your PATH during installation.
The QM9 example scripts allows to train and evaluate both SchNet and wACSF neural networks. The training can be started using:
schnetpack_qm9.py train <schnet/wacsf> <datadir> <modeldir> --split num_train num_val [--cuda]
where num_train and num_val need to be replaced by the number of training and validation datapoints respectively.
You can choose between SchNet and wACSF networks and have to provide directories to store the model and the QM9 dataset
(will be downloaded if not in <datadir>
). With the --cuda
flag, you can activate GPU training.
The default hyper-parameters should work fine, however, you can change them through command-line arguments.
Please refer to the help at
schnetpack_qm9.py train <schnet/wacsf> --help
.
The training progress will be logged in <modeldir>/log
, either as CSV
(default) or as TensorBoard event files. For the latter, TensorBoard needs to be installed to view the event files.
This can be done by installing the version included in TensorFlow
pip install tensorflow
or the standalone version.
To evaluate the trained model with the best validation error, call
schnetpack_qm9.py eval <schnet/wacsf> <datadir> <modeldir> [--split train val test] [--cuda]
which will write a result file evaluation.txt
into the model directory.
