Using a one-dimensional model, we explore the ability of machine learning to approximate the non-interacting kinetic energy density functional of diatomics. This nonlinear interpolation between Kohn-Sham reference calculations can (i) accurately dissociate a diatomic, (ii) be systematically improved with increased reference data and (iii) generate accurate self-consistent densities via a projection method that avoids directions with no data. With relatively few densities, the error due to the interpolation is smaller than typical errors in standard exchange-correlation functionals.

In real calculations all densities are represented by a finite basis, and thus will have a finite L2 norm.

In situations where this is not the case (e.g., incomplete sampling of
$\protect \mathcal {M}_N$
), the predictive variance could be used to detect when leaving the interpolation domain and further reference calculations could then be done to augment the training set accordingly.44.
