MatFormBench: A Benchmarking Evaluation Framework for Target-Driven Materials Formulation 文章

arXiv:2605.26741v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inverse design of materials has significantly advanced target-driven formulation optimization, yet existing materials machine learning benchmarks remain limited to forward property prediction, failing to systematically evaluate inverse optimization and generation algorithms, a critical gap that hinders the progress of target-driven materials design. To address this limitation, we propose MatFormBench, a novel benchmarking ecosystem tailored to evaluate and guide generative strategies for target-driven formulation. MatFormBench integrates a physics-driven formulation generation scheme to generate synthetic samples that faithfully emulate realistic materials structure-property response relationships, complemented by five escalating difficulty levels to quantify the complexity of these relationships.
