Sumario:Machine learning: Modelling atomic systems to make property predictions A method for representing atomic systems for machine learning is shown that can provide access to the physical properties of these systems. Machine learning is a powerful tool for finding correlations but when used to look at real-word systems, the complexity of the models often limits the amount of information that can be extracted about the underlying physics. An international team of researchers led by Conrad Rosenbrock from Brigham Young University now present a machine learning-based approach for modelling atomic systems that can provide insight into the physical building blocks that influence them. They demonstrate the power of their approach by examining the predictive performance of several machine learning models, providing connections between the structure and behaviour of grain boundaries in crystalline materials, which could be extended to other systems that involve local structural changes.
