ML4Chem is a package to deploy machine learning for chemistry and materials science. It is written in Python 3, and intends to offer modern and rich features to perform machine learning (ML) workflows for chemical physics.
A list of features and ML algorithms are shown below.
- PyTorch backend.
- Completely modular. You can use any part of this package in your project.
- Free software <3. No secrets! Pull requests and additions are more than welcome!
- Documentation (work in progress).
- Explicit and idiomatic:
ml4chem.get_me_a_coffee(). - Distributed training in a data parallel paradigm aka mini-batches.
- Scalability and distributed computations are powered by Dask.
- Real-time tools to track status of your computations.
- Easy scaling up/down.
- Easy access to intermediate quantities:
NeuralNetwork.get_activations(X, numpy=True)orVAE.get_latent_space(X). - Messagepack serialization.
This package is under heavy development and might break at some points until it gets stabilized. It is in its infancy, so if you find there is an error, you might want to report it so that it can be improved. We also welcome pull requests if you find any part of ML4Chem should be improved. That would be very nice.

To get started, read the documentation at https://ml4chem.dev. It is arranged in a way that you can go through the theory as well as some code snippets to understand how to use this software. Additionally, you can dive through the module index to get more information about different classes and functions of ML4Chem. If you think the documentation has to be improved do not hesistate to state so in the bug reports and help out if you feel like it.
