  1. aACTs computed for experiments with the random selection (random sel.) strategy are excluded from the analysis because different approaches may introduce systematic biases, making the comparison unreliable.
  2. E- and F-RMSEs are reported for MLIPs obtained at the end of each experiment, while CV space coverage and ACTs are computed using the entire trajectory obtained throughout the experiment. E-RMSE is given in meV atom−1, while F-RMSE is in eV Å−1. All E-RMSE and F-RMSE values are computed for the test data set obtained from a long MD trajectory at 1200 K; see Methods. ACTs are provided in ps. For biased MD, we compare two cases: one with (w.) biasing hydrogen atoms and one without (w/o.). We also compare biased and unbiased MD with experiments that involve the random selection (random sel.) strategy for acquiring training data. The best performance is highlighted in bold, and the second-best performance is underlined.
