PXtal: Learning to Align Powder X-Ray Diffraction and Crystal Structures under Information Asymmetry across Modalities
Scientific multimodal learning commonly assumes that paired views are comparably informative. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) makes this mismatch explicit: compressing a three-dimensional crystal structure into a one-dimensional diffraction pattern loses information and makes the pattern harder to connect to the crysta …
