Harnessing surrogate models for data-efficient predictive chemistry: descriptors <i>vs.</i> learned hidden representations

When data are scarce, surrogate models trained on QM descriptors help. We report that their hidden features, not the predicted descriptors, provide superior inputs for downstream predictive chemistry tasks.

Abstract

When data are scarce, surrogate models trained on QM descriptors help. We report that their hidden features, not the predicted descriptors, provide superior inputs for downstream predictive chemistry tasks.
