SPEAR: Structure Property Explainability with Attention Regularization

arXiv:2608. 13826v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine learning is increasingly used to learn structure property relationships from spectroscopic and diffraction data, yet its adoption in materials discovery is often limited by poor interpretability of model predictions.

MatBind: A Shared Embedding Space for Multimodal Materials Characterization

arXiv:2607. 08470v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fully characterizing a crystalline material requires integrating heterogeneous data sources -- atomic structures, diffraction patterns, electronic density of states, and natural language -- each of which captures a different facet of the same physical object.

Accurate, Interdisciplinary and Transparent Structure-property Understanding with Deep Native Structural Reasoning

Structure-property relationships are foundational to biology, chemistry and materials science, where function, reactivity and physical response emerge from spatial, chemical and periodic organization. Mechanistically explaining these relationships requires interpreting structural evidence through scientific principles and physical constraints, from stereochemistry and bonding to symmetry, energetics and periodic order.

MatMind: A Structure-Activity Knowledge-Driven Generative Foundation Model for Materials Science

arXiv:2606. 07712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Progress in AI-driven crystal materials science has so far been carried by narrow architectures purpose-built for individual tasks -- graph neural networks for property prediction, diffusion and flow-matching models for crystal generation -- each excelling within its niche yet unable to act as a shared backbone across the full spectrum of materials problems.
