Abstract Propelled partly by the Materials Genome Initiative, and algorithmic developments resounding successes of data-driven efforts in other domains, informatics strategies are beginning to take shape within materials science. These approaches lead surrogate machine learning models that enable rapid predictions based purely on past data rather than direct experimentation or computations/simulations which fundamental equations explicitly solved. Data-centric methods becoming useful...
