The last chapter of @zeldery.bsky.social 's PhD thesis is now out as a preprint. We train an NNP to predict the difference between DFT and DFTB, giving us near-DFT quality at DFTB cost. Improvement in accuracy, especially at long range. chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10....

Another group summer BBQ in the books. Best wishes to Pohl and Chris on their next steps.

Training it specifically for a system and using MBIS charges can give us better agreement. These models can also give spurious local minima if they are undertrained.

Takeaways: An "out of the box" NNP trained on other molecules will get some features right, but quantitative agreement is lacking for intermolecular interactions, particularly at long range.

A preprint of our perspective, Modeling Intermolecular Interactions With XDM Dispersion Corrections to Neural Network Potentials is now live. Please send comments! go.shr.lc/3UuvZcU

New preprint on our group's graph neural network classifier to predict of a compound will react with a protein nucleophile. We predict that the ~5% of the ChEMBL database is protein-reactive doi.org/10.26434/che...
The graph neural network classifier identifies the electrophilic regions of a molecule.

Each year Carleton University has a butterfly show in their greenhouse. Easily my favourite day of the year.
