我们对当前的计算方法进行了大规模的评估，包括传统的小分子力场;半经验，密度泛函，从头计算电子结构方法;以及当前的机器学习（ML）技术来评估相对单点能量。使用多达10个局部最小几何形状在类似于700个分子，每个优化的B3 LYP-D3 BJ与单点DLPNO-CCSD（T）三重zeta能量，我们考虑超过6500个单点，以比较不同的方法之间的相关性的相对能量和有序排名的最小值。我们发现，目前的ML方法有潜力，并建议在每一层的准确性-时间权衡的方法，特别是最近的GFN 2半经验方法，B 97 -3c密度泛函近似，和RI-MP2准确的构象能量。ANI系列ML方法显示出了希望，特别是部分基于耦合簇能量训练的ANI-1ccx变体。多种方法表明，在性能和准确性方面都应该继续改进。
We have performed a large-scale evaluation of current computational methods, including conventional small-molecule force fields; semiempirical, density functional, ab initio electronic structure methods; and current machine learning (ML) techniques to evaluate relative single-point energies. Using up to 10 local minima geometries across similar to 700 molecules, each optimized by B3LYP-D3BJ with single-point DLPNO-CCSD(T) triple-zeta energies, we consider over 6500 single points to compare the correlation between different methods for both relative energies and ordered rankings of minima. We find that the current ML methods have potential and recommend methods at each tier of the accuracy-time tradeoff, particularly the recent GFN2 semiempirical method, the B97-3c density functional approximation, and RI-MP2 for accurate conformer energies. The ANI family of ML methods shows promise, particularly the ANI-1ccx variant trained in part on coupled-cluster energies. Multiple methods suggest continued improvements should be expected in both performance and accuracy.
