This paper presents a new ML-exchange-correlation potential that gives improved results compared to state-of-the-art functionals, especially for barriers. Most importantly, it demonstrates the importance of including fractional charge and spin in the training set when developing new functionals. Fractional charge-systems help reduce the self-interaction error while fractional spin-systems supplies information about static correlation. For example, the current functional gives reasonable bond dissociation curves and future functionals of this kind may work considerably better on transition metal-containing systems with significant multi-reference character.
