Machine learning framework accelerates thermoelectric material discovery

Researchers have developed a machine learning framework to accelerate the discovery of thermoelectric materials, specifically focusing on half-Heusler compounds. This framework enhances the generalizability of predictions by employing a principal component analysis-based splitting strategy and Bayesian hyperparameter optimization. Analyses identified key descriptors for thermoelectric performance, and the framework was successfully applied to screen millions of potential compositions, yielding promising candidates for future investigation. AI

IMPACT Establishes a generalizable workflow for data-driven materials discovery, potentially speeding up the identification of new thermoelectric materials.

    A Generalizable Machine Learning Framework for Half-Heusler Thermoelectrics

    arXiv:2602.01149v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a powerful approach for accelerating the discovery of thermoelectric (TE) materials, yet many models suffer from limited generalizability. Here we present a robust ML framework for pred…
