Evaluation of model performance on predicting the molecular energy for the Salicylic acid molecule using the MD17 dataset, typically measured by Mean Absolute Error (MAE).

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 Prediction |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | MD17 Salicylic acid |
| Metric | MAE (kcal/mol) |
| Unit | OTHER |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 13 of 13 |
| 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

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