The interpolative separable density fitting (ISDF) is an efficient and accurate low-rank decomposition method to reduce the high computational cost and memory usage of the Hartree-Fock exchange (HFX) calculations with numerical atomic orbitals (NAOs). In this work, we present a machine learning K-means clustering algorithm to select the interpolation points in ISDF, which offers a much cheaper alternative to the expensive QR factorization with column pivoting (QRCP) procedure. We implement this K-means-based ISDF decomposition to accelerate hybrid functional calculations with NAOs in the HONPAS package. We demonstrate that this method can yield a similar accuracy for both molecules and solids at a much lower computational cost. In particular, K-means can remarkably reduce the computational cost of selecting the interpolation points by nearly two orders of magnitude compared to QRCP, resulting in a speedup of ∼10 times for ISDF-based HFX calculations.
