Abstract

The ability to predict material properties without the need for resource-consuming experimental efforts can immensely accelerate material and drug discovery. Although ab initio methods can be reliable and accurate in making such predictions, they are computationally too expensive on a large scale. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as the availability of large quantum mechanics derived datasets enable us to train models on these datasets as a benchmark and to make fast predictions on much larger datasets. The success of these machine learning models highly depends on the machine-readable fingerprints of the molecules that capture their chemical properties as well as topological information. In this work, we propose a common deep learning-based framework to combine different types of molecular fingerprints to enhance prediction accuracy. A graph neural network (GNN), many-body tensor representation (MBTR), and a set of simple molecular descriptors (MD) were used to predict the total energies, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energies, and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies of a dataset containing μ62k large organic molecules with complex aromatic rings and remarkably diverse functional groups. The results demonstrate that a combination of best performing molecular fingerprints can produce better results than the individual ones. The simple and flexible deep learning framework developed in this work can be easily adapted to incorporate other types of molecular fingerprints.
