Understanding Machine-learned Density Functionals
Kernel ridge regression is used to approximate the kinetic energy of non-interacting fermions in a one-dimensional box as a functional of their density. The properties of different kernels and methods of cross-validation are explored, and highly accurate energies are achieved. Accurate {\em constrained optimal densities} are found via a modified Euler-Lagrange constrained minimization of the total energy. A projected gradient descent algorithm is derived using local principal component analysis. Additionally, a sparse grid representation of the density can be used without degrading the performance of the methods. The implications for machine-learned density functional approximations are discussed.

Surrogate Functionals for Machine-Learned Orbital-Free Density Functional Theory
We introduce surrogate functionals: machine-learned energy functionals for orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT) which are defined not by universal fidelity to a physical reference, but merely by the requiremen…
Understanding Kernel Ridge Regression: Common behaviors from simple functions to density functionals
Accurate approximations to density functionals have recently been obtained via machine learning (ML). By applying ML to a simple function of one variable without any random sampling, we extract the qualitative dependence…
BIG-bench Machine LearningregressionDerivative Informed Learning of Exchange-Correlation Functionals
Machine-learned (ML) exchange-correlation (XC) functionals aim to replace human-designed density functional approximations by learning directly from reference data, but they still do not consistently outperform tradition…
Variational principle to regularize machine-learned density functionals: the non-interacting kinetic-energy functional
Practical density functional theory (DFT) owes its success to the groundbreaking work of Kohn and Sham that introduced the exact calculation of the non-interacting kinetic energy of the electrons using an auxiliary mean-…
Evolving symbolic density functionals
Systematic development of accurate density functionals has been a decades-long challenge for scientists. Despite the emerging application of machine learning (ML) in approximating functionals, the resulting ML functional…
