With all of the crystal information organized within a CIF text file, VESTA is able to create visualizations as seen in Fig. that assist materials scientists in determining the structural components of a given crystal. Since the process of experimentally solving atomic positions is more challenging than solving the lattice parameters and space group, not all CIF entries include the basis. As a result, from the 140,000 CIF entries, only approximately 50,000 CIFs contain all the required information needed for our CrysTens representation and satisfy the representations' constraints. Pymatgen, a materials informatics Python library, was used to extract relevant information from each CIF during CrysTens construction using a Python programming interface and the Pymatgen Structure object (See Fig. ) . Finding a concise, efficient, and structurally informative representation for each CIF was an important step in the process of crystal structure generative modeling. After many iterations, including just simply listing the crystal structure parameters in a list, we eventually decided upon a representation that captured both the intricate parameters of each crystal as well as their interatomic components. The representation is a tensor of shape 64x64x4 and can be visualized in Fig. and Fig. . The top twelve rows and leftmost twelve columns are symmetrical and list out all of the CIF-extracted information of a given crystal. The top (or leftmost) list is the atomic number of each of the atoms present in the crystal. They are listed from left to right (or top to bottom) until either fifty-two spots have been filled or the crystal has run out of atoms to place. If there is leftover space in the representation, zeros will be filled in for the remainder. Structures with more than 52 atoms in the basis are excluded. The same process is repeated for the three fractional coordinates (x, y, and z), the three lattice parameters (a, b, and c), the three lattice angles (α, β, and γ), and the space group number. Finally, a padding layer is inserted to separate the CIF-extracted information from the interatomic portion of the representation. For the first layer of the representation, the bottom-right 52x52 matrix is used to encode a pairwise distance matrix that relates each of the atoms together by their Euclidean distance. Within the latter three layers of the representation, a distance graph for each of the dimensions is represented to show the uni-dimensional relative distance between each atom.
