CPPbenchmark

CPPbenchmark is a curated benchmark suite for evaluating machine learning models on crystal property prediction (CPP) tasks. It includes eight tasksโ€”seven regression (e.g., formation energy, band gap, elastic moduli) and one classification (metal/non-metal)โ€”using high-quality datasets derived from the Materials Project. All data is provided in ASE .db format, enabling easy integration with atomistic ML workflows.

Data Format

All data is stored in ASE database format (.db). Each entry contains both the crystal structure and the associated target properties.


๐Ÿงช Example: Reading Data from an ASE Database

You can read data using the ase.db module as follows:

from ase.db import connect

# Load the database
db = connect('MP_100_bgfe_train.db')

# Iterate through entries
for row in db.select():
    atoms = row.toatoms()  # ASE Atoms object
    formation_energy = row.formation_energy
    band_gap = row.band_gap

    print(f'Formula: {atoms.get_chemical_formula()}')
    print(f'Formation Energy: {formation_energy:.3f} eV')
    print(f'Band Gap: {band_gap:.3f} eV')
    break  # remove this if you want to iterate over all entries
