The AI model designed by the team will improve the computational efficiency of molecular dynamics by 100 times, which is expected to be used in ionic conductor research and drug research and development.
Recently, the Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Microstructure of Shanghai Jiaotong University proposed the artificial intelligence model T-AIMD by introducing the Transformer algorithm in the generation of artificial intelligence, which provided a solution to the long-term computational time-consuming problem of molecular dynamics. T-AIMD model combines sequence features and physical descriptors (such as charge, temperature, etc.). In this way, the model not only learns the dynamic characteristics of sequences, but also incorporates the static properties of substances, thus improving the generalization ability and prediction accuracy of the model.
In addition, the model uses high-performance computing resources to support the training and operation of deep learning model, and optimizes the calculation process through intelligent algorithms to realize fast and accurate prediction of material properties. (DeepTech Deep Technology)
