Popis: We present NeuralIL, a model for the potential energy of an ionic liquid that accurately reproduces first-principles results with orders-of-magnitude savings in computational cost. Built on the basis of a multilayer perceptron and spherical Bessel descriptors of the atomic environments, NeuralIL is implemented in such a way as to be fully automatically differentiable. It can thus be trained on ab initio forces instead of just energies, to make the most out of the available data, and can efficiently predict arbitrary derivatives of the potential energy. Using ethylammonium nitrate as the test system, we obtain out-of-sample accuracies better than 2 meV atom–1 (
