Significance Motivated by the recent achievements of artificial intelligence (AI) in linguistics, we design AI to learn properties of atoms from materials data on its own. Our work realizes knowledge representation of atoms via computers and could serve as a foundational step toward materials discovery and design fully based on machine learning.
