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.

This thesis develops robust and efficient AI frameworks for accelerating crystalline materials discovery by addressing both major stages of the materials-design pipeline: crystal property prediction a...
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.
