Graph neural networks for an accurate and interpretable prediction of the properties of polycrystalline materials

Abstract Various machine learning models have been used to predict the properties of polycrystalline materials, but none of them directly consider the physical interactions among neighboring grains despite such microscopic interactions critically determining macroscopic material properties. Here, we...
