Machine learning (ML) models trained on bulk-crystal descriptors are increasingly used to prescreen catalysts by predicting adsorption energies, yet reported performances often rely on random K-fold cross-validation that permits the same bulk formula to appear in both training and test sets. We construct a reproducibl…
