This review highlights how machine learning enhances density functional approximations in materials and molecules, suggesting future directions.
Density functional theory has become the world's favorite electronic structure method, and is routinely applied to both materials and molecules. Here, we review recent attempts to use modern machine-learning to improve density functional approximations. Many different researchers have tried many different approaches, but some common themes and lessons have emerged. We discuss these trends and where they might bring us in the future.
