This software package implements the Compositionally-Restricted Attention-Based Network (CrabNet) that takes only composition information to predict material properties. Additionally, it demonstrates several model interpretability techniques that are possible with CrabNet.

• Publications / How to cite
• Installation and basic use of CrabNet
• Model interpretability with CrabNet
