Evaluation of model performance on predicting the molecular energy and forces for the Salicylic acid molecule using the test split of the MD17 dataset.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Energy and force prediction |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MD17 Salicylic acid (test) |
| Metric | Energy MAE (kcal/mol) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 12 of 12 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Energy MAE (kcal/mol)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/energy-and-force-prediction-on-md17-salicylic-acid-test.md?metric=Energy%20MAE%20(kcal%2Fmol)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Force MAE (kcal/mol/Å)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/energy-and-force-prediction-on-md17-salicylic-acid-test.md?metric=Force%20MAE%20(kcal%2Fmol%2F%C3%85)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
