Recent research in Multifidelity Machine Learning (MFML) has resulted in ML methods that reduce the cost of generating a training set without compromising on the accuracy of the predictions. This is achieved by the combination of cheaper and less accurate data with high accuracy (or fidelity) and high cost data. In this work, a novel methodological improvement of MFML is benchmarked for various quantum chemical (QC) properties. Optimized MFML (o-MFML) performs the combination of the different fidelities of data are using an Optimal Combination method. With this improvement, it is shown that high accuracy methods such as Coupled Cluster Singlets Double (Triplet) are now more accessible that ever to the ML-QC community. The work is available in the Machine Learning: Science and Technology journal from IOPScience and is authored by Vivin Vinod, Ulrich Kleinekathöfer, and Peter Zaspel.
