Coupling artificial intelligence with high-throughput experimentation accelerates discovery of amorphous alloys.
Active learning-the field of machine learning (ML) dedicated to optimal experiment design-has played a part in science as far back the 18th century when Laplace used it guide his discovery celestial mechanics. In this work, we focus closed-loop, active learning-driven autonomous system on another major challenge, advanced materials against exceedingly complex synthesis-processes-structure-property landscape. We demonstrate an methodology for functional inorganic compounds which allow...
The Materials Genome Initiative, a national effort to introduce new materials into the market faster and at lower cost, has made significant progress in computational simulation modeling of materials. To build on this progress, large amount experimental data for validating these models, informing more sophisticated ones, will be required. High-throughput experimentation generates volumes using combinatorial synthesis rapid measurement techniques, making it an ideal complement bring...
High throughput (combinatorial) materials science methodology is a relatively new research paradigm that offers the promise of rapid and efficient screening, optimization, discovery. The started in pharmaceutical industry but was rapidly adopted to accelerate wide variety areas. experiments are characterized by synthesis “library” sample contains variation interest (typically composition), localized measurement schemes result massive data sets. Because collected at same time on sample, they...
Traditional machine learning (ML) metrics overestimate model performance for materials discovery.
Abstract Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have led to substantial performance improvement material database benchmarks, but an excellent benchmark score may not imply good generalization performance.

Firstly, uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) be used investigate relation between...
Extensive efforts to gather materials data have largely overlooked potential redundancy. In this study, we present evidence of a significant degree redundancy across multiple large datasets for various material properties, by revealing that up 95% can be safely removed from machine learning training with little impact on in-distribution prediction performance. The redundant is related over-represented types and does not mitigate the severe performance degradation out-of-distribution samples....
Abstract Scientific machine learning (ML) aims to develop generalizable models, yet assessments of generalizability often rely on heuristics. Here, we demonstrate in the materials science setting that heuristic evaluations lead biased conclusions ML and benefits neural scaling, through out-of-distribution (OOD) tasks involving unseen chemistry or structural symmetries. Surprisingly, many good performance across including boosted trees. However, analysis representation space shows most test...
