Yet, as attention turns to more complex materials including alloys, disordered and heterogeneous systems, the challenge of providing reliable description for all possible environment become ever more costly. In this work, we evaluate the beneﬁts of using speciﬁc versus general potentials for the study of activated mechanisms in solid-state materials. More speciﬁcally, we tests three machine-learning ﬁtting approaches using the moment-tensor potential to reproduce a reference potential when exploring the energy landscape around a vacancy in Stillinger-Weber silicon crystal and silicon-germanium zincblende structure using the activation-relaxation technique nouveau (ARTn) . We ﬁnd that a a targeted on-the-ﬂy approach speciﬁc and integrated to ARTn generates the highest precision on the energetic and geometry of activated barriers, while remaining cost-eﬀective. This approach expands the type of problems that can be addressed with high-accuracy ML potentials.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nAs computational materials scientists turn to attention to ever more complex systems, they are faced with two major challenges : (i) how to describe correctly their physics and (ii) how to reach the appropriate size and time scale to capture the properties of interest. The ﬁrst challenge is generally solved by turning to ab initio methods, 1 that allow the solution Heisenberg’s equation with reasonably controlled approximations. Theses approaches, however, suﬀer from N4 scaling which limits their application to small system sizes and short timescales. The second challenge is met by a variety of methods that cover diﬀerent scales. Molecular dynamics2 , for example, which directly solves Newton’s equation, accesses typical time scales between picoseconds and microseconds, at the very best. Other approaches, such as lattice3,4 and oﬀ-lattices kinetic Monte-Carlo5,6 , by focusing on physically relevant mechanisms, can extend this time scale to seconds and more, as long the diﬀusion takes place through activated processes. Even though these methods are eﬃcient, each trajectory can require hundreds of thousands to millions of forces evaluations, which becomes too costly with ab initio approaches, forcing modellers to use empirical potentials in spite of their incapacity at describing correctly complex environments.  \nBuilding on ab initio energy and forces, machinelearned potentials7–10 open the door to lifting some of this diﬃculties, by oﬀering much more reliable physics asa small fraction of the cost of ab initio evaluations.  \nSince their introduction, ML potentials have been largely coupled with MD and focusing on the search for universal potentials, able to describe a full range of structures and phases for a given material 11–13 . As we turn to more complex systems such as alloys and disordered and heterogeneous systems, it becomes more and more diﬃcult to generate such universal potentials, since the  \nnumber of possible environments grows rapidly with this complexity. In this context, the development of speciﬁc potentials, with on-the-ﬂy learning that makes it possible to adapt to new environments, becomes a strategy worth exploring.  \nIn this work, we focus on the construction of machinelearned potentials adapted to the sampling of energy landscape dominated by
