Materials property prediction for limited datasets enabled by feature selection and joint learning with MODNet

Abstract In order to make accurate predictions of material properties, current machine-learning approaches generally require large amounts of data, which are often not available in practice. In this work, MODNet, an all-round framework, is presented which relies on a feedforward neural network, the...
