MXtalTools: A Toolkit for Machine Learning on Molecular Crystals

We present MXtalTools, a flexible Python package for the data-driven modeling of molecular crystals, facilitating machine learning studies of the molecular solid state. MXtalTools comprises several classes of utilities: (1) synthesis, collation, and curation of molecule and crystal data sets, (2) integrated workflows for model training and inference, (3) crystal parametrization and representation, (4) crystal structure sampling and optimization, (5) end-to-end differentiable crystal sampling, construction, and analysis. Our modular functions can be integrated into existing workflows or combined and used to build novel modeling pipelines. MXtalTools leverages CUDA acceleration to enable high-throughput crystal modeling. The Python code is available open-source on our GitHub page, with detailed documentation on ReadTheDocs.

Abstract

We present MXtalTools, a flexible Python package for the data-driven modeling of molecular crystals, facilitating machine learning studies of the molecular solid state. MXtalTools comprises several classes of utilities: (1) synthesis, collation, and curation of molecule and crystal data sets, (2) integrated workflows for model training and inference, (3) crystal parametrization and representation, (4) crystal structure sampling and optimization, (5) end-to-end differentiable crystal sampling, construction, and analysis. Our modular functions can be integrated into existing workflows or combined and used to build novel modeling pipelines. MXtalTools leverages CUDA acceleration to enable high-throughput crystal modeling. The Python code is available open-source on our GitHub page, with detailed documentation on ReadTheDocs.
