What is MILADY?

MILADY - Machine Learning DYnamics is a package created by scientists for scientists, aiming to improve the accuracy and predictive power of atomistic simulations. The code uses machine learning algorithms and prioritises methods with a reasonable computational cost. MILADY is an open-source code distributed under the Academic Software Licence (ASL).

Main functionalities:

  • Development of machine learning force fields, suitable for molecular dynamics simulations.

  • Development of surrogate regression models to predict materials properties, including vibrational entropy, HOMO-LUMO energies, etc.

  • Representation of atomic structures in the feature space of atomic descriptors.

  • Analysis, sparsification, and optimization of datasets.

Advantages of MILADY:

  • MILADY is designed for High Performance Computing and is therefore well parallelized and has a good scalability. It uses MPI, PBLAS and ScaLapack.

  • MILADY includes a large choice of atomic descriptors and regression models, including linear, quadratic, polynomial chaos, and kernels.

  • MILADY is open-source package and contributions are very welcome.
