"""
Compute comprehensive molecular descriptors from atomic coordinates.
This function calculates a wide range of geometric and topological
descriptors used in crystal structure analysis, including moments
of inertia, asphericity, planarity metrics, and shape descriptors.
Parameters
----------
coords : torch.Tensor, shape (B, N, 3)
Cartesian coordinates of atoms for B structures with up to N atoms each.
Coordinates should be in Ångström units.
masses : torch.Tensor, shape (B, N)
Atomic masses in atomic mass units (Da). Padding positions should
have mass 0.0.
device : torch.device
PyTorch device for computation (CPU or CUDA).
Returns
-------
descriptors : dict of str to torch.Tensor
Dictionary containing computed descriptors:
- 'moments_of_inertia': torch.Tensor, shape (B, 3)
Principal moments of inertia in ascending order
- 'asphericity': torch.Tensor, shape (B,)
Measure of deviation from spherical shape
- 'acylindricity': torch.Tensor, shape (B,)
Measure of deviation from cylindrical shape
- 'planarity_score': torch.Tensor, shape (B,)
Measure of molecular planarity (0=linear, 1=planar)
Raises
------
ValueError
If input tensors have incompatible shapes or contain invalid values.
RuntimeError
If GPU computation fails due to memory constraints.
Notes
-----
This function uses the convention where moments of inertia are computed
about the center of mass and sorted in ascending order. The asphericity
and acylindricity parameters follow the definitions of:
- Asphericity: I₃ - 0.5(I₁ + I₂)
- Acylindricity: I₂ -Technical Details
