How is AI accelerating all stages of Material Discovery? Our review published on #Matter provides a holistic look of what #AI and #machinelearning brings to the table for discovery & design by considering ultimate application & end-use of the material.
Almost two years' team efforts to put this holistic review together! Congrats to my PhD students and more exciting outcome to expect!
Fuel properties of hydrochar and pyrochar: Prediction and exploration with machine learning
Applied Energy 269 (2020): 115166.
Conversion of wet organic wastes into renewable energy is a promising way to substitute fossil fuels and avoid environmental deterioration. Machine learning models for multi-task prediction of fuel properties of the chars were developed and optimized based on two datasets for hydrochar and pyrochar. Feature importance and correlation were explored based on optimized ML model, and feature re-examination was conducted for model improvement.
