GAPF-DFT: A graph-based alchemical perturbation density functional theory for catalytic high-entropy alloys
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit exceptional catalytic performance due to their complex surface structures. However, the vast number of active binding sites in HEAs, as opposed to conventional alloys, presents a significant computational challenge in catalytic applications. To tackle this challenge, robust methods must be developed to efficiently explore the configurational space of HEA catalysts. Here, we introduce a novel approach that combines alchemical perturbation density functional theory (APDFT) with a graph-based correction scheme to explore the binding energy landscape of HEAs. Our results demonstrate that APDFT can accurately predict binding energies for isoelectronic permutations in HEAs at minimal computational cost, significantly accelerating configurational space sampling. However, APDFT errors increase substantially when permutations occur near binding sites. To address this issue, we developed a graph-based Gaussian process regression model to correct discrepancies between APDFT and conventional density functional theory values. Our approach enables the prediction of binding energies for hundreds of thousands of configurations with a mean average error of 30 meV, requiring a handful of ab initio simulations.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
