We developed a machine learning model to predict fluid properties using density functional theory. This approach accurately determines the pair potential from structural data, aiding in soft matter design.

Area of Science:

  • Computational physics
  • Statistical mechanics
  • Machine learning

Background:

  • The excess free energy functional in classical density functional theory is crucial but generally unknown.
  • Approximations for this functional are reliable only in specific cases.
  • Accurate functionals are needed for modeling liquids and soft matter.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a machine learning scheme for a generic metadensity functional.
  • To enable accurate predictions for inhomogeneous fluids using arbitrary pair potentials.
  • To provide a method for inverting structural data to obtain pair potentials.

Main Methods:

  • Training a neural network as a metadensity functional.
  • Utilizing automatic differentiation and neural functional calculus.
