Automated pyiron workflows accelerate the development of machine learning potentials in materials science (NFDI-MatWerk)

The implementation of pyiron-based automated workflows fundamentally improves the creation of machine learning interatomic potentials (MLPs) in materials science. This comprehensive and user-friendly framework, built upon the pyiron integrated development environment...
