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.

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.
