Robust and Efficient AI Frameworks for Scalable Material Design and Property Prediction
The thesis presents AI frameworks that accelerate crystalline materials discovery by tackling both crystal property prediction and crystal structure generation. It introduces CrysXPP, CrysGNN, and CrysMMNet for efficient, data‑sparse property prediction using graph autoencoding, self‑supervised pretraining, and multimodal learning. For generation, TGDMat is a text‑guided diffusion model that jointly learns lattice parameters, atomic types, and coordinates, enabling valid, stable, and conditionally generated periodic materials.

Deep Generative Crystal Structure Prediction: A Benchmark Study and a Controlled Test of Prototype Dependence
The study benchmarks 12 deep generative crystal structure prediction models against the template-based TCSP 2.0 on 180 test structures, finding that template retrieval achieves the highest top‑1 success (68.3%). Most generative predictions overlap with template substitutions, and removing entire stoichiometric prototype families from training reduces accuracy by 50‑78%, indicating strong prototype dependence. Only a small subset of predictions remain after such removal, suggesting limited genuine de‑novo capability.

ADAPT: Lightweight, Long-Range Machine Learning Force Fields Without Graphs
The paper introduces ADAPT, a lightweight machine‑learning force field that replaces graph neural networks with a direct coordinates‑in‑space Transformer encoder to model all pairwise atomic interactions. Applied to silicon point defects, ADAPT reduces force prediction error by about 22% and energy prediction error by roughly 40% compared to a state‑of‑the‑art GNN model, while also cutting computational cost. This approach addresses common GNN issues such as oversmoothing, oversquashing, and poor long‑range interaction representation, which are especially problematic for point defect modeling.

uFlowCSP: Crystal Structure Prediction using Mean flow generative models
uFlowCSP is a MeanFlow-based crystal structure prediction model that learns the average probability‑flow velocity, enabling it to generate complete crystal structures in one to five network evaluations. It achieves inference speeds 5×–58× faster than diffusion and flow‑matching methods while matching or surpassing their performance, with a chemistry‑ and symmetry‑aware Transformer that uses canonical atom ordering and per‑token chemistry embeddings. On the MP‑20 benchmark, uFlowCSP attains comparable or higher accuracy with far fewer evaluations and significantly lower wall‑clock time, demonstrating improved accuracy per network evaluation.
