Interpreting the output of Soap.featurize_dataframe

Hello.

I’ve attempted to featurize according to SOAPS but have had difficulty in interpreting the output as with the names Soap_0, Soap_1, Soap_2 etc. I’m unsure what the values in each column mean on their own and why there are exactly 300 of them.

I’ve struggled to find resources explaining the nature of the output of the SOAP featurizer so any help would be very appreciated!

Hey Michael,

We are working on updating the SOAP featuizer with the help of the describe author: https://github.com/hackingmaterials/matminer/pull/428

You can check the dscribe implementation of soap as well for more details in the meantime.

Thanks,
Alex
