Atomic Intelligence, a Chinese textbook for AI-driven materials science
A substantial online Chinese-language textbook traces machine learning from perceptrons and backpropagation through diffusion models, inverse design, and computational materials research.
- For
- Chinese-speaking learners of AI, chemistry, and materials science
- Worth noticing
- The curriculum reaches from perceptrons to CDVAE/GNoME, phonon-spectrum checks, CASP, and autonomous laboratories.
Field notes
The curriculum is unusually broad for a single web book: it starts with calculus-oriented machine-learning fundamentals, then proceeds through geometric and generative models before reaching inverse design and materials workflows. The final modules name concrete checks and methods, including crystal generation with CDVAE/GNoME, thermodynamic convex-hull and phonon-spectrum analysis, molecular synthesizability, and DFT validation. The site identifies itself as version 1.0 and says some chapters are unlockable by code.
