Symmetry rules that atoms obey when they bond together to form an ordered crystal play a fundamental role in determining their properties.
Generating stable crystal structures is still a challenge due to a lack of accounting for symmetry rules.
WyFormer is a generative model for materials that accounts for space group symmetry by using Wyckoff positions.
WyFormer demonstrates best-in-class symmetry-conditioned generation, physics-motivated bias, stability, material property prediction, and fast inference.
