Abstract:
This symposium aims to explore the role of machine learning (ML) in materials science, including concept development, experimental design, material synthesis, and characterization. The symposium covers a range of cutting-edge topics including the utilization of computer vision techniques for advanced data analysis and modeling, automated and autonomous synthesis and characterization, the integration of natural language processing in materials research, and strategies for effective human-AI collaboration. The goal of the symposium is to foster a collaborative environment that catalyzes the development of novel materials and advance fundamental knowledge by leveraging not only the synergy between ML algorithms and tool automation but also enhancing human-AI cooperation.
