The aim of aviary is to contain multiple models for materials discovery under a common interface, over time we hope to add more models with a particular focus on coordinate-free deep learning models.

Aviary requires torch-scatter. pip install it with

pip install torch-scatter -f https://data.pyg.org/whl/torch-2.1.0+cpu.html

Make sure you replace 2.1.0 with your actual torch.__version__ (python -c 'import torch; print(torch.__version__)') and cpu with your CUDA version if applicable.

Then install aviary from source with

pip install -U git+https://github.com/CompRhys/aviary

or for an editable source install from a local clone:

git clone https://github.com/CompRhys/aviary
pip install -e ./aviary

To test the input files generation and cleaning/canonicalization please run:

python examples/inputs/poscar_to_df.py

This script will load and parse a subset of raw POSCAR files from the TAATA dataset and produce the datasets/examples/examples.csv and datasets/examples/examples.json files used for the next example. For the coordinate-free roost and wren models where the inputs are easily expressed as strings we use CSV inputs. For the structure-based cgcnn model we first construct pymatgen structures from the raw POSCAR files then determine their dictionary serializations before saving in a JSON format. The raw POSCAR files have been selected to ensure that the subset contains all the correct endpoints for the 5 elemental species in the Hf-N-Ti-Zr-Zn chemical system. To test each of the three models provided please run:

python examples/roost-example.py --train --evaluate --data-path examples/inputs/examples.csv --targets E_f --tasks regression --losses L1 --robust --epoch 10

python examples/wren-example.py --train --evaluate --data-path examples/inputs/examples.csv --targets E_f --tasks regression --losses L1 --robust --epoch 10

python examples/cgcnn-example.py --train --evaluate --data-path examples/inputs/examples.json --targets E_f --tasks regression --losses L1 --robust --epoch 10

Please note that for speed/demonstration purposes this example runs on only ~68 materials for 10 epochs - running all these examples should take < 30 sec. These examples do not have sufficient data or training to make accurate predictions, however, the same scripts were used for all experiments conducted as part of the development and publication of these models. Consequently understanding these examples will ensure you can deploy the models as intended for your research.

We also provide some notebooks that show more a more pythonic way to interact with the codebase, these examples make use of the TAATA dataset examined in the wren manuscript:
