Ti atoms' motion shown in fig. (A) determines the unit cell's local polarization for a given system. Based on the local polarization order from fig (A), blue and orange regions are two different symmetric order arrangements at equilibration. States that exist at equilibration are called 'static' states. The system may possess an infinite number of orders in the equilibrium state with no applied electric field. The interface may have different 'static' states that can hard to analyze with traditional methods (as shown in fig. A). With the help of data provided in SUBSET A, we are interested to know the existence of different order parameters-'static states' for the given systems.
States exist with an applied electric field called dynamic states. The ordered dynamics of the BaTiO3 system differed by adding defects and applying directional electric field with non-zero magnitude value that results in the hysteresis loop in fig. (B). Data in SUBSET B, we provided four sets of configuration each has applied a non-zero magnitude of an electric field with defects and no-defects. Earlier studies used methods such as DMD (Dynamic mode decomposition) method [3], VAE (Variational autoencoders), and TICA (time-lagged independent component analysis)[4] to separate the 'static' or 'dynamic' states from sequential data.

**The challenge questions are:**
1) Can we map the molecular dynamics onto a convolutional graph dynamical network[5]?
2) Can we then identify both ‘static’ polarization states (i.e. regions with polarization that doesn’t change with time) as well as ‘dynamic’ polarization states (i.e. regions with dynamic change in polarization)?
3) Is it possible to use above mentioned methods (DMD,TICA or VAE) to identify both ‘static’/'dynamic' polarization states?
4) Can we cluster the different states as shown in fig. (A)?
**Notes**
1) ML algorithms to be implemented in one of the following languages: Python, C/C++, Julia.
