DeepModeling

Define the future of scientific computing together

On June 17, 2024, researchers Xi Cheng and Liuqing Wen from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Dingyan Wang from Lingang Laboratory, published a study titled "Highly accurate carbohydrate-binding site prediction with DeepGlycanSite" in Nature Communications [1]. This research introduces DeepGlycanSite, a deep learning-based algorithm for predicting carbohydrate-binding sites on protein structures with high precision. By leveraging Uni-Mol, DeepGlycanSite achieves exceptional accuracy in identifying carbohydrate-binding sites, providing a powerful tool for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions.

Pre-trained models are sweeping through the AI field by extracting representative information from large-scale unlabeled data and then performing supervised learning on small-scale labeled downstream tasks, becoming the de facto solution in many application scenarios. In drug design, there is still no consensus on the "best way to represent molecules." In the field of materials chemistry, predicting molecular properties is equally important. Mainstream molecular pre-training models typically start from one-dimensional sequences or two-dimensional graph structures, but molecular structures are inherently represented in three-dimensional space. Therefore, directly constructing pre-trained models from three-dimensional information to achieve better molecular representations has become an important and meaningful problem. To further promote research on molecular representation and pre-trained models, Uni-Mol will join the DeepModeling community to work with community developers to advance the development of a three-dimensional molecular representation pre-training framework.

The tight-binding model based on second quantization is a widely used theoretical model in condensed matter physics. In this model:

  • Atoms in a lattice are represented as discrete points with a specific number of electrons.
  • Each electron occupies a corresponding atomic orbital.
  • Using creation and annihilation operators, electron transitions between atomic orbitals are described in the second quantization framework.
  • The Hamiltonian comprises:
    • Transition terms between atomic orbitals.
    • Energy levels of the orbitals.

The slogan for OpenLAM is "Conquer the Periodic Table!" We hope to provide a new infrastructure for microscale scientific research and drive the transformation of microscale industrial design in fields such as materials, energy, and biopharmaceuticals by establishing an open-source ecosystem around large microscale models. Relevant models, data, and workflows will be consolidated around the AIS Square; related software development will take place in the DeepModeling open-source community. At the same time, we welcome open interaction from different communities in model development, data sharing, evaluation, and testing.

"The integration of machine learning and physical modeling is revolutionizing the paradigm of scientific research. People aiming to push the boundaries of science and solve challenging problems through computational modeling are coming together in unprecedented ways." Recently, the DeepModeling open-source community has welcomed a new member in the field of macro-scale computation. To further advance the development of the JAX-FEM project, a differentiable finite element method library, JAX-FEM will join the DeepModeling community. Together with developers and users in the community, it aims to expand the frontiers of finite element methods in the AI4Science era.

Peter Thiel once said, "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters (Twitter)." Over the past decade, we have made great strides at the bit level (internet), but progress at the atomic level (cutting-edge technology) has been relatively slow.

The accumulation of linguistic data has propelled the development of machine learning and ultimately led to the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs). With the push from AI, progress at the atomic level is also accelerating. Methods like Deep Potential, by learning quantum mechanical data, have increased the space-time scale of microscopic simulations by several orders of magnitude and have made significant progress in fields like drug design, material design, and chemical engineering.

The accumulation of quantum mechanical data is gradually covering the entire periodic table, and the Deep Potential team has also begun the practice of the DPA pre-training model. Analogous to the progress of LLMs, we are on the eve of the emergence of a general Large Atom Model (LAM). At the same time, we believe that open-source and openness will play an increasingly important role in the development of LAM.

In the field of magnetic material science, many frontier challenges require considering the coupling between lattices and spins at the atomic scale. For example, areas such as ultrafast magnetization dynamics, terahertz spintronics, and magnetocaloric materials rely on simulations of energy transfer between lattice and spin subsystems. Additionally, the interplay between magnetism and the lattice directly impacts the performance of materials critical to high-voltage power transmission, the automotive industry, and high-performance batteries.
