We introduce machine-learned potentials for Ag-Pd to describe the energy of alloy configurations over a wide range of compositions. We compare two different approaches. Moment tensor potentials (MTPs) are polynomial-like functions of interatomic distances and angles. The Gaussian approximation potential (GAP) framework uses kernel regression, and we use the smooth overlap of atomic position (SOAP) representation of atomic neighborhoods that consist of a complete set of rotational and…

It is demonstrated that certain widely used descriptors that initially look quite different are specific cases of a general approach, in which a finite set of basis functions with increasing angular wave numbers are used to expand the atomic neighborhood density function.
