  1. For each combination of 3 ML models and 3 settings, the performance metrics include 4 measures of the prediction of the 51-D phDOS and 2 measures each for the properties CV (heat capacity at 300 K, J/K ⋅ mol) at 300K and \(\bar{\omega }\) (average phonon frequeny, cm−1) calculated from each material’s phDOS. Each loss metric is aggregated over all materials in the test set. Note that for phDOS predictions with MaxNorm scaling, each prediction is re-scaled to a maximum value of 1 prior to evaluating prediction loss, and analogously the predictions with SumNorm scaling are re-scaled to a sum of 1 prior to evaluating prediction loss. MAE and MSE metrics for phDOS prediction inherit the arbitrary units from the respective scaling and should not be directly compared across scaling. R2 (unitless) and WD (units of cm−1 from the energy axis) are insensitive to this difference in scaling. The best value in each column is noted in bold. In each setting and for each loss metric, Mat2Spec provides the best predictions.
