Three requirements of machine learning in materials developments. Good collaboration between machine learning tools and scientists in materials developments requires sparse modeling, prediction accuracy, and interpretability. One type of interpretable machine learning called factorized asymptotic Bayesian inference hierarchical mixture of experts (FAB/HMEs) satisfies all three criteria (From Identification of advanced spin-driven thermoelectric materials via interpretable machine learning)
