Prediction Model of Organic Molecular Absorption Energies based on Deep Learning trained by Chaos-enhanced...

As an important physical property of molecules, absorption energy can characterize the electronic property and structural information of molecules. Moreover, the accurate calculation of molecular absorption energies is highly valuable. Present linear and nonlinear methods hold low calculation accuracies due to great errors, especially irregular complicated molecular systems for structures. Thus, developing a prediction model for molecular absorption energies with enhanced accuracy, efficiency, and stability is highly beneficial. By combining deep learning and intelligence algorithms, we propose a prediction model based on the chaos-enhanced accelerated particle swarm optimization algorithm and deep artificial neural network (CAPSO BP DNN) that possesses a seven-layer 8-4-4-4-4-4-1 structure. Eight parameters related to molecular absorption energies are selected as inputs, such as a theoretical calculating value E_c of absorption energy (B3LYP/STO-3G), molecular electron number N_e, oscillator strength O_s, number of double bonds N_db, total number of atoms N_a, number of hydrogen atoms N_h, number of carbon atoms N_c, and number of nitrogen atoms N_N; and one parameter representing the molecular absorption energy is regarded as the output. A prediction experiment on organic molecular absorption energies indicates that CAPSO BP DNN exhibits a favourable predictive effect, accuracy, and correlation. The tested absolute average relative error, predicted root-mean-square error, and square correlation coefficient are 0.033, 0.0153, and 0.9957, respectively. Relative to other prediction models, the CAPSO BP DNN model exhibits a good comprehensive prediction performance and can provide references for other materials, chemistry and physics fields, such as nonlinear prediction of chemical and physical properties, QSAR/QAPR and chemical information modelling, etc.
