Outline of Final Research Achievements

Machine learning is gaining attention as a means of reducing the computational cost of quantum chemical calculations. The machine-learned electron correlation (ML-EC) model predicts the electron correlation energy density in the complete basis limit of the CCSD(T) method from density variables obtained by the Hartree-Fock calculation. We worked on improving the generalization performance of the ML-EC model by determining the applicable region. We also worked on the development of a machine learning model that reproduces atomic energies without the Hartree-Fock calculation.
The ML-EC model is based on the idea of approximate exchange-correlation functionals in density functional theory (DFT). We worked on several topics related to DFT such as the development of a new hybrid functional, the improvement of a density-dependent dispersion correction, and the elucidation of controlling factors of minimum-energy conical intersections within the framework of spin-flip time-dependent DFT.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

量子化学の計算コストを削減するためにエネルギーを再現する機械学習モデルを構築する研究が多数行われてきた。多くの研究例では系全体のエネルギーをグラフ畳み込みニューラルネットワークなどで再現している。これは,情報学的手段を用いて空間的な非局所性を扱うことを意味する。一方,本研究課題は量子化学の理論に基づき局所的なエネルギー密度もしくは原子エネルギーを定義し,これを目的変数とする点で独自性および学術的意義がある。
また,本研究課題で遂行されたDFT関係の研究テーマは,DFTにおける交換相関汎関数の近似を改善する。円錐交差の支配因子のテーマは,光物性や光化学における分子設計に貢献する。
