Equation 9 · Part 2 · How AI for Science and Medicine Actually Works

Symbol phi

hv(k+1)=ϕ(hv(k),⨁u∈N(v)ψ(hv(k),hu(k),euv)),h_v^{(k+1)} = \phi\left(h_v^{(k)}, \bigoplus_{u \in \mathcal{N}(v)} \psi\left(h_v^{(k)}, h_u^{(k)}, e_{uv}\right)\right),
ϕ\phi

What this part means

learned functions — the same general operation GNoME’s crystal-graph network applies to atoms and bonds, applied here to points on a sphere and the physical processes connecting them.

Its job in the formula

phi is an input to the expression that computes the quantity on the left.

Where the article explains it

where hv(k)h_v^{(k)} is node v ’s representation after k rounds of message passing, euve_{uv} is the edge connecting it to neighbour u , and ψ\psi and ϕ\phi are learned functions — the same general operation GNoME’s crystal-graph network applies to atoms and bonds, applied here to points on a sphere and the physical processes connecting them.

The passage around this formula

…for a node v with neighbours N(v)\mathcal{N}(v) looks like hv(k+1)=ϕ(hv(k),⨁u∈N(v)ψ(hv(k),hu(k),euv))h_v^{(k+1)} = \phi\left(h_v^{(k)}, \bigoplus_{u \in \mathcal{N}(v)} \psi\left(h_v^{(k)}, h_u^{(k)}, e_{uv}\right)\right). where hv(k)h_v^{(k)} is node v ’s representation after k rounds of message passing, euve_{uv} is the edge connecting it to neighbour u , and ψ\psi and ϕ\phi are learned functions — the same general operation GNoME’s crystal-graph network applies to atoms and bonds, applied here to points on a sphere and the physical processes connecting them.

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
