Compositionally restricted attention-based network for materials property predictions

Abstract In this paper, we demonstrate an application of the Transformer self-attention mechanism in the context of materials science. Our network, the Compositionally Restricted Attention-Based network (CrabNet), explores the area of structure-agnostic materials property predictions when only a che...
