Abstract

Quantum-chemical descriptors are powerful predictors of discovering and designing new materials of desired properties. Wave-function-based methods are often employed to calculate quantum-chemical descriptors, which are time consuming. Recently, machine learning models have been used for predicting quantum-chemical descriptors because of their computational advantages. However, it is difficult to generate a proper molecular representation for training. This work reviews recent molecular representation techniques and then employs variational autoencoders to encode Bag-of-Bond molecular representation. The encoded representation reduce the dimensionality of features and extract the essential information through a deep neural network structure. Results on a benchmark dataset show that the deep encoded molecular representation outperforms Bag-of-Bond representations in predicting electronic quantum-chemical descriptors.
