Datasets for Zenodo

Jennifer Clark

  • The two charge datasets will be merged into one

  • No specific filtering required

Latest NAGL charge model results

Charlie Adams

  • Ash charge model in excellent agreement with RESP ELF10

  • ESPALOMA to be dropped from paper

SMEE-SPICE valence training and Bespokefit-SMEE Updates

Finlay Clark

  • CC: Maybe 1-4 fit trapped in local minima - more favourable global minimum possible

  • JH: Metadynamics on grid of torsions might become problematic as molecules get large

  • DC: Is it fine just to use the model from the last minibatch?

    • FC: Think so - test loss doesn’t fluctuate too much.

    • JH: This is what we do with the charge models
