# Dataset  Name  
sAlex validation  
### Description  
The validation split of sAlex. sAlex is a subsample of the Alexandria dataset that was used to fine tune the OMat24 (Open Materials 2024) models. From the site: sAlex was created by removing structures matched in WBM and only sampling structure along a trajectory with an energy difference greater than 10 meV/atom.

# Usage  
- `ds.parquet` : Aggregated dataset information.  
- `co/` directory: Configuration rows each include a structure, calculated properties, and metadata.  
- `cs/` directory : Configuration sets are subsets of configurations grouped by some common characteristic. If `cs/` does not exist, no configurations sets have been defined for this dataset.  
- `cs_co_map/` directory : The mapping of configurations to configuration sets (if defined).
