In this work, we construct a metric that quantifies structural similarity under aliovalent substitution and propose a method that performs post-substitution structure prediction by predicting this similarity from the substituted composition alone. Targeting 106,318 oxide substitution pairs from a Materials Project, we defined the similarity as a weighted average of six sub-metrics, including polyhedral type distribution and coordination number distribution, and built a machine learning model to predict it. The output of this model is then provided as a condition to a crystal structure generation model to generate the substituted structures.
