CGCNN crystal representation

Turns a crystal into 64 numbers that describe it. Those numbers are one block of the input to QRF95; they are not an answer to anything on their own.

Status historical — v2.0 is the last version

It is not a classifier

It was trained on metallicity labels, but what is published is the vector from its middle, not the class at its end. load_model refuses to serve it as a model and says so:

this artifact is published as a feature extractor, not as a model that answers
a question

If you want a metal-or-insulator answer, use the metallicity classifier instead. That one carries a threshold and measured performance; this one carries neither.

Use it

You do not load this directly. QRF95's record already contains the files it needs, so downloading QRF95 is enough.
