Thermodynamics-embedded Neural Network for Segment Activity Coefficients

TeNNet-SAC

TeNNet-SAC (Thermodynamics-Embedded Neural Network for Segment Activity Coefficients) is a machine learning framework designed to predict molecular activity coefficients in multicomponent systems using only molecular SMILES strings, composition, and temperature as input.

This project provides:

1. σ-profile prediction model, including surface area and molecular volume estimation
2. Activity coefficient prediction with two versions:
   • Base model: trained on synthetic data generated from the COSMO-SAC model
   • Fine-tuned model: further optimized using high-quality experimental data

Features

• Predicts activity coefficients beyond binary systems
• Requires only SMILES strings, mole fractions, and temperature
• Hard-constraint architecture ensures thermodynamic consistency
• Modular design: supports use of σ-profiles from QC calculations
• Robust and generalizable via two-stage training: synthetic COSMO-SAC pretraining followed by experimental fine-tuning, preserving physical consistency
