Recent advances in the synthesis of polar molecular materials have produced practical alternatives to ferroelectric ceramics, opening up exciting new avenues for their incorporation into modern electronic devices. However, in order to realize the full potential of polar polymer and molecular crystals for modern technological applications, it is paramount to assemble and evaluate all the available data for such compounds, identifying descriptors that could be associated with an emergence of ferroelectricity. In this work, we utilized data-driven approaches to judiciously shortlist candidate materials from a wide chemical space that could possess ferroelectric functionalities. An importance-sampling based method was utilized to address the challenge of having a limited amount of available data on already known organic ferroelectrics. Sets of molecular- and crystal-level descriptors were combined with a Random Forest Regression algorithm in order to predict spontaneous polarization of the shortlisted compounds with an average error of ~20%.

We propose a novel data-driven approach for analyzing synchrotron Laue X-ray microdiffraction scans based on machine learning algorithms. The basic architecture and major components of the method are formulated mathematically. We demonstrate it throu gh typical examples including polycrystalline BaTiO$_3$, multiphase transforming alloys and finely twinned martensite. The computational pipeline is implemented for beamline 12.3.2 at the Advanced Light Source, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. The conventional analytical pathway for X-ray diffraction scans is based on a slow pattern by pattern crystal indexing process. This work provides a new way for analyzing X-ray diffraction 2D patterns, independent of the indexing process, and motivates further studies of X-ray diffraction patterns from the machine learning prospective for the development of suitable feature extraction, clustering and labeling algorithms.
Spatio-temporally extended nonlinear systems often exhibit a remarkable complexity in space and time. In many cases, extensive datasets of such systems are difficult to obtain, yet needed for a range of applications. Here, we present a method to gene rate synthetic time series or fields that reproduce statistical multi-scale features of complex systems. The method is based on a hierarchical refinement employing transition probability density functions (PDFs) from one scale to another. We address the case in which such PDFs can be obtained from experimental measurements or simulations and then used to generate arbitrarily large synthetic datasets. The validity of our approach is demonstrated at the example of an experimental dataset of high Reynolds number turbulence.
Orchestrating parametric fitting of multicomponent spectra at scale is an essential yet underappreciated task in high-throughput quantification of materials and chemical composition. To automate the annotation process for spectroscopic and diffractio n data collected in counts of hundreds to thousands, we present a systematic approach compatible with high-performance computing infrastructures using the MapReduce model and task-based parallelization. We implement the approach in software and demonstrate linear computational scaling with respect to spectral components using multidimensional experimental materials characterization datasets from photoemission spectroscopy and powder electron diffraction as benchmarks. Our approach enables efficient generation of high-quality data annotation and online spectral analysis and is applicable to a variety of analytical techniques in materials science and chemistry as a building block for closed-loop experimental systems.
The widespread adoption of online courses opens opportunities for the analysis of learner behaviour and for the optimisation of web-based material adapted to observed usage. Here we introduce a mathematical framework for the analysis of time series c ollected from online engagement of learners, which allows the identification of clusters of learners with similar online behaviour directly from the data, i.e., the groups of learners are not pre-determined subjectively but emerge algorithmically from the analysis and the data.The method uses a dynamic time warping kernel to create a pairwise similarity between time series of learner actions, and combines it with an unsupervised multiscale graph clustering algorithm to cluster groups of learners with similar patterns of behaviour. We showcase our approach on online engagement data of adult learners taking six web-based courses as part of a post-graduate degree at Imperial Business School. Our analysis identifies clusters of learners with statistically distinct patterns of engagement, ranging from distributed to massed learning, with different levels of adherence to pre-planned course structure and/or task completion, and also revealing outlier learners with highly sporadic behaviour. A posteriori comparison with performance showed that, although the majority of low-performing learners are part of in the massed learning cluster, the high performing learners are distributed across clusters with different traits of online engagement. We also show that our methodology is able to identify low performing learners more accurately than common classification methods based on raw statistics extracted from the data.
A better understanding of dispersion in natural streams requires knowledge of longitudinal dispersion coefficient(LDC). Various methods have been proposed for predictions of LDC. Those studies can be grouped into three types: analytical, statistical and ML-driven researches(Implicit and explicit). However, a comprehensive evaluation of them is still lacking. In this paper, we first present an in-depth analysis of those methods and find out their defects. This is carried out on an extensive database composed of 660 samples of hydraulic and channel properties worldwide. The reliability and representativeness of utilized data are enhanced through the deployment of the Subset Selection of Maximum Dissimilarity(SSMD) for testing set selection and the Inter Quartile Range(IQR) for removal of the outlier. The evaluation reveals the rank of those methods as: ML-driven method > the statistical method > the analytical method. Whereas implicit ML-driven methods are black-boxes in nature, explicit ML-driven methods have more potential in prediction of LDC. Besides, overfitting is a universal problem in existing models. Those models also suffer from a fixed parameter combination. To establish an interpretable model for LDC prediction with higher performance, we then design a novel symbolic regression method called evolutionary symbolic regression network(ESRN). It is a combination of genetic algorithms and neural networks. Strategies are introduced to avoid overfitting and explore more parameter combinations. Results show that the ESRN model has superiorities over other existing symbolic models in performance. The proposed model is suitable for practical engineering problems due to its advantage in low requirement of parameters (only w and U* are required). It can provide convincing solutions for situations where the field test cannot be carried out or limited field information can be obtained.
