ML_MCONF_NEW = [integer]
Default: ML_MCONF_NEW = 5 

Description: This tag sets the number of configurations that are stored temporarily as candidates for the training data in the machine learning force field method.


Warning: This value is empirically set and should usually not be touched.

Usually one can employ that the force field doesn't necessary needs to be retrained immediately at every step when a training structure with corresponding local configurations is added. Instead one can also collect candidates and do the learning in a later step for all structures simultaneously. This way saving significant computational cost is saved. Of course learning after every new configurations or after every blocks can have different results, but with not too large block size the difference should be small.

The tag ML_MCONF_NEW sets the block size for learning. If the Bayesian error of the force for any atom is above the threshold ML_CTIFOR but below
