title: H2CO Dataset

description: The deposited data sets were used to compare three state-of-the art machine<br> learning (ML) approaches to obtain representations of potential energy<br> surfaces (PESs). The comparison is meant to be representative as it examines<br> a purely kernel-based approach (reproducing kernel Hilbert space plus<br> forces (RKHS+F))[1], a purely neural network based approach (PhysNet)[2]<br> and includes the FCHL representation [3] within kernel ridge regression.<br> Formaldehyde, H2CO, is used as a benchmark system. H2CO is a small molecule for which PESs can be calculated<br> at different levels of theory and, thus, suitable for an in-depth theoretical<br> study. Also, very high-level calculations have already been presented (see e.g.<br> Ref. [4]) and experimental reference data is available to compare with [5]. Using reference data calculated at three different levels of quantum chemical<br> theory (B3LYP/cc-pVDZ, MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ and CCSD(T)-F12/aug-cc-pVTZ-F12) ML<br> models are trained using the different ML methods. The performance of the<br> models is then examined by considering energy and force learning curves,<br> harmonic frequencies and IR spectra from finite-Temperature molecular dynamics<br> (MD) simulations. The data sets contain different geometries for the H2CO molecule generated using<br> the normal mode sampling approach [6] performed at different temperatures. Four<br> data sets are deposited: <br> i) "h2co_B3LYP_cc-pVDZ_4001.npz": 4001 geometries of H2CO generated using normal mode<br> sampling and calculated using ORCA [7] (B3LYP/cc-pVDZ).<br> ii) "h2co_mp2_avtz_4001.npz": 4001 geometries of H2CO generated using normal mode<br> sampling and calculated using MOLPRO 2019 [8] (MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ).<br> iii) "h2co_ccsdt_avtz_4001.npz": 4001 geometries of H2CO generated using normal mode<br> sampling and calculated using MOLPRO 2019 [8] (CCSD(T)-F12/aug-cc-pVTZ-F12).<br> iv) "h2co_ccsdt_avtz_2500_extrapol.npz": 2500 geometries of H2CO generated using normal mode<br> sampling and calculated using MOLPRO 2019 [8] (CCSD(T)-F12/aug-cc-pVTZ-F12). This sampling<br> was carried out at higher temperature (5000 K compared to 2000K) to test the extrapolation<br> ability of the ML methods.
