High-entropy materials (HEMs) have recently emerged as a significant category of materials, offering highly tunable properties. However, the scarcity of HEM data in existing density functional theory (DFT) databases, primarily due to computational expense, hinders the development of effective modeling strategies for computational materials discovery. In this study, we introduce an open DFT dataset of alloys and employ machine learning (ML) methods to investigate the material representations needed for HEM modeling. Utilizing high-throughput DFT calculations, we generate a comprehensive dataset of 84k structures, encompassing both ordered and disordered alloys across a spectrum of up to seven components and the entire compositional range. We apply descriptor-based models and graph neural networks to assess how material information is captured across diverse chemical-structural representations. We first evaluate the in-distribution performance of ML models to confirm their predictive accuracy. Subsequently, we demonstrate the capability of ML models to generalize between ordered and disordered structures, between low-order and high-order alloys, and between equimolar and non-equimolar compositions. Our findings suggest that ML models can generalize from cost-effective calculations of simpler systems to more complex scenarios. Additionally, we discuss the influence of dataset size and reveal that the information loss associated with the use of unrelaxed structures could significantly degrade the generalization performance. Overall, this research sheds light on several critical aspects of HEM modeling and offers insights for data-driven atomistic modeling of HEMs.

Syntology Ran 1 of 3 code samples harvested from 1 repository linked to this paper; 2 have no recorded run. Of those that ran: 1 ran with no contract checked.

By repository: official repository: 3 samples from 1 repository, 1 ran. The run record, sample by sample. “Ran” means executed on a synthesized input, not that the code is correct or reproduces the paper.

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Harvested from mathsphy/high-entropy-alloys-dataset-ml. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
