We present a machine learning algorithm for the prediction of molecule properties inspired by ideas from density functional theory (DFT). Using Gaussian-type orbital functions, we create surrogate electronic densities of the molecule from which we compute invariant "solid harmonic scattering coefficients" that account for different types of interactions at different scales. Multilinear regressions of various physical properties of molecules are computed from these invariant coefficients. Numerical experiments show that these regressions have near state-of-the-art performance, even with relatively few training examples. Predictions over small sets of scattering coefficients can reach a DFT precision while being interpretable.

The wavelet scattering transform is an invariant signal representation\nsuitable for many signal processing and machine learning applications. We\npresent the Kymatio software package, an easy-to-use, high-performance Python\nimplementation of the scattering transform in 1D, 2D, and 3D that is compatible\nwith modern deep learning frameworks. All transforms may be executed on a GPU\n(in addition to CPU), offering a considerable speed up over CPU\nimplementations. The package also has a small memory footprint, resulting\ninefficient memory usage. The source code, documentation, and examples are\navailable undera BSD license at https://www.kymat.io/\n

We introduce a solid harmonic wavelet scattering representation, invariant to rigid motion and stable to deformations, for regression and classification of 2D and 3D signals. Solid harmonic wavelets are computed by multiplying solid harmonic functions with Gaussian windows dilated at different scales. Invariant scattering coefficients are obtained by cascading such wavelet transforms with the complex modulus nonlinearity. We study an application of solid harmonic scattering invariants to the estimation of quantum molecular energies, which are also invariant to rigid motion and stable with respect to deformations. A multilinear regression over scattering invariants provides close to state of the art results over small and large databases of organic molecules.
