<p>Interatomic potentials come in many different varieties, with
different physical motivations. Even for single well-known elements such as silicon,
a wide variety of potentials quite different in functional form and motivation have been developed.<sup id="cite_ref-Bal92_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bal92-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
The true interatomic interactions
are <a href="Quantum_mechanics" title="Quantum mechanics">quantum mechanical</a> in nature, and there is no known
way in which the true interactions described by
the <a href="Schr%C3%B6dinger_equation" title="Schrödinger equation">Schrödinger equation</a> or <a href="Dirac_equation" title="Dirac equation">Dirac equation</a> for
all electrons and nuclei could be cast into an analytical
functional form. Hence all analytical interatomic
potentials are by necessity <a href="Approximation" title="Approximation">approximations</a>.
</p><p>Over time interatomic potentials have largely grown more complex and more accurate, although this is not strictly true.<sup id="cite_ref-Plimpton2012_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Plimpton2012-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This has included both increased descriptions of physics, as well as added parameters. Until recently, all interatomic potentials could be described as "parametric", having been developed and optimized with a fixed number of (physical) terms and parameters. New research focuses instead on non-parametric potentials which can be systematically improvable by using complex local atomic neighbor descriptors and separate mappings to predict system properties, such that the total number of terms and parameters are flexible.<sup id="cite_ref-Shapeev2016_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Shapeev2016-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These non-parametric models can be significantly more accurate, but since they are not tied to physical forms and parameters, there are many potential issues surrounding extrapolation and uncertainties.

Non-parametric potentials in turn contain hundreds or even thousands of independent parameters to fit. For any but the simplest model forms, sophisticated optimization and machine learning methods are necessary for useful potentials.

<p>Since the 1990s, machine learning programs have been employed to construct interatomic potentials, mapping atomic structures to their potential energies. These are generally referred to as 'machine learning potentials' (MLPs)<sup id="cite_ref-78" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-78"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>78<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or as 'machine-learned interatomic potentials' (MLIPs).<sup id="cite_ref-nature.com_79-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nature.com-79"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>79<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Such machine learning potentials help fill the gap between highly accurate but computationally intensive simulations like <a href="Density_functional_theory" title="Density functional theory">density functional theory</a> and computationally lighter, but much less precise, empirical potentials. Early neural networks showed promise, but their inability to systematically account for interatomic energy interactions limited their applications to smaller, low-dimensional systems, keeping them largely within the confines of academia. However, with continuous advancements in artificial intelligence technology, machine learning methods have become significantly more accurate, increasing the use of machine learning in the field.<sup id="cite_ref-ML_80-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ML-80"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>80<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-81" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-81"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>81<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-nature.com_79-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nature.com-79"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>79<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Modern neural networks have revolutionized the construction of highly accurate and computationally light potentials by integrating theoretical understanding of materials science into their architectures and preprocessing. Almost all are local, accounting for all interactions between an atom and its neighbor up to some cutoff radius. These neural networks usually intake atomic coordinates and output potential energies. Atomic coordinates are sometimes transformed with atom-centered symmetry functions or pair symmetry functions before being fed into neural networks. Encoding symmetry has been pivotal in enhancing machine learning potentials by drastically constraining the neural networks' search space.<sup id="cite_ref-ML_80-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ML-80"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>80<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-82" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-82"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>82<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Conversely, message-passing neural networks (MPNNs), a form of graph neural networks, learn their own descriptors and symmetry encodings. They treat molecules as three-dimensional <a href="Graph_(discrete_mathematics)" title="Graph (discrete mathematics)">graphs</a> and iteratively update each atom's feature vectors as information about neighboring atoms is processed through message functions and convolutions. These feature vectors are then used to directly predict the final potentials. In 2017, the first-ever MPNN model, a deep tensor neural network, was used to calculate the properties of small organic molecules.<sup id="cite_ref-83" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-83"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>83<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ML_80-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ML-80"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>80<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-84" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-84"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>84<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
