Hi @mhsiron, here are a few suggestions
Structure
class objects before the training (adding them into GP). Instead, you can create the Structure
every time before calling gp_model.add_training_structure
.gp_model.add_training_structure(train_struc)
gp_model.add_all_environments(train_struc)
I would suggest you to select frames and environments by uncertainty, for which you can use our offline training workflow.
For the offline training, we recently merge the whole flare_pp repo into flare (development branch), and you can check the offline training tutorial
Thank you @YuuuXie, I have compiled the development branch of Flare. And I am following the on the fly / fake calculator test. I am getting the following outputs:

How am I to interpret this magnitude of likelihood? And why is the first component of my likelihood gradient nan? It also appears the hyperparameters are not changing.

I tried Flare branch 1.1.2 and that did not show "nan" for the first gradient component however it failed on: Hyperparameters: [ 1.39119812e+12 -1.50422897e+03 2.07407411e+00 3.31245338e+02] Likelihood gradient: [ 1.45688477e+03 3.87175313e+11 -1.91296921e+14 -2.05101010e+01] Likelihood: -5192.678368096951

If I print "s" and "self.sparse_gp.sparse_indices" I get a sparse_indices array like so: [[[0,90],[1,5,6,7,...]]]
while s >1, so when s==2 I get the out of range error. Should my sparse array be shaped like so: [[9,90,1,5,6, ...]] ?
Is this a problem with the wrapper? or the C library?
I edited line 179 to be custom_range = [item for sublist in self.sparse_gp.sparse_indices[0] for item in sublist][s] and the code appears to be working.
Hi @mhsiron , as for the nan
issue, you might want to check whether your first frame is a perfect crystal lattice, or might have identical/highly similar atomic environments, so when you add them, they will make the kernel matrix ill conditioned.
As for the IndexError
, I don't know why this error would arise, maybe after you change the init_atoms it will help
Also a minor point is to set train_hyps: [20,200]
for example, so you will not train the hyper parameters when there are fewer than 20 frames or more than 200 frames in the model. If there are too few frames, the training might not be stable. If there are too many, the hyps usually changes little but the training takes very long.

Thanks @YuuuXie -- just to double check, if my extxyz file contains multiple structures with different lattices/number of atoms, is that config file not correct? Can the OTF trainer script be used?

Great, thanks, will try that!

Hi @mhsiron , if you have multiple different sizes, that definitely works for the yaml, and you can set the kwargs: {}
for FakeDFT, and can also list multiple data files to feed to GP.

In the past, when I loaded all structures, after each epoch, the MAE would lower, and would be much lower than the metrics here. Is it that my model configuration is improper? Am I not loading enough structures or sites? Is there something else I'm doing wrong?
Hi @mhsiron , sorry for the late reply. Your yaml file format seems to be a bit messed up, I wonder what kind of cutoff did you try to impose?
flare_calc:
cutoff: 4
descriptors:
- cutoff_function: quadratic
cutoff_matrix:
- - 5.0
I don't quite understand from here why there is cutoff: 4
, and then there is cutoff_matrix: - - 5
. It looks very confusing
Hi @YuuuXie, no worries!
I changed the cutoff_matrix to be the same as the cutoff (matrix: [[5.0]] and cutoff 5.0). I still get large fluctuations for the energy mae's that do not appear to converge.
I am using PyYAML to write my configuration file, - - 5.0 is similar to [[5.0]]. Just to double check I have also tried it with the brackets, and I am receiving the same fluctuations.
Hi @mhsiron , I'm not sure what your system is, but previously you were running on this two-species system,
species:
- 22
- 8
and now you are just running on carbon?
species:
- 6
Could you give me a bit more information on your system and dataset?
I would suggest you to check a few different cutoffs, and also check the energy noise (Hyp1) in the flare output file, and see if the energy noise is very large.
Hi @YuuuXie, that's correct. I changed/simplify the system just to play around with the Flare parameters. The previous system was 3 different phases of TiO2. This current system is the trajectory of an amorphous carbon MD simulation at ~1000K using VASP.
Both the force, stress MAEs were also fluctuating. Right now I am trying a force-only training. I still do not get convergence and the parameters are: [3.21365770e+01 1.00000000e-03 5.62081974e-01 1.00000000e-03]
In the original code (top of the thread), I would be able to get MAEs that converged at each iteration with force MAEs < 150meV. However the original code required too much memory for my system, and so I switched to the FakeDFT method.
Here is the dataset I am using: processed_dataset.zip
@mhsiron Do you mean that you are using exactly the same datasets, parameters and settings in the python script as the yaml file, but you get very different error ranges in them?
Unsure! Because in the python script I cannot load all of the dataset, I can only load maybe ~50 structures before running out of memory. But on those structures I can get a low MAE that I cannot reproduce with the same dataset, same parameters as with the yaml file. However, I believe the FakeDFT does not load every site nor every structure?
You could probably try using the same subset of structures and see if you can reproduce the result. Also neither in FakeDFT not in the python script need you to load the whole dataset (by "load" I mean transferring them into a flare Structure
object in which all the descriptors are computed, but all the x,y,z coordinates of the frames are indeed loaded from the file)
I see. But there is nothing out of the ordinary in the config file that would lead to large energy/force/stress fluctuations that appear to not be converging?
If everything in the python and yaml is exactly the same, I wouldn't expect any difference in the outcome
I will remove structures in the dataset to see if there is a difference between the two. What could cause non-convergence in Flare in general?
Hello,
I am using the following code (very similar to the on in Google Collab) for a dataset with ~3,000 structures of 150-190 atoms each. I have a cluster with 128GB and one with 384GB. On both, the code uses all the memory and crashes typically at setting up the training data.
Is there a more efficient way to load the data as needed so that the system memory is not completely used up?
