• Abstract: Recent advancements in machine learning have showcased its potential to significantly accelerate the discovery of new materials. Central to this progress is the development of rapidly computable property predictors, enabling the identification of novel materials with desired properties from vast material spaces. However, the limited availability of data resources poses a significant challenge in data-driven materials research, particularly hindering the exploration of innovative materials beyond the boundaries of existing data. While machine learning predictors are inherently interpolative, establishing a general methodology to create an extrapolative predictor remains a fundamental challenge, limiting the search for innovative materials beyond existing data boundaries. In this study, we leverage an attention-based architecture of neural networks and meta-learning algorithms to acquire extrapolative generalization capability. The meta-learners, experienced repeatedly with arbitrarily generated extrapolative tasks, can acquire outstanding generalization capability in unexplored material spaces. Through the tasks of predicting the physical properties of polymeric materials and hybrid organic--inorganic perovskites, we highlight the potential of such extrapolatively trained models, particularly with their ability to rapidly adapt to unseen material domains in transfer learning scenarios.

  Natural learning processes rely on mechanisms where data representation and learning are intertwined in such a way as to respect locality. We show that the algorithmic interpretation of the derived "laws of learning", which takes the structure of Hamiltonian equations, reduces to Backpropagation when the speed of propagation goes to infinity. This opens the doors to machine learning based on full on-line information that are based the replacement of Backpropagation with the proposed local algorithm.

  In material science, the prediction of unobserved values, commonly referred to as extrapolation, is critical for property prediction. We propose an experimental framework for the demonstration and empirically reveal that while models were unable to accurately extrapolate absolute property values, self-supervised pretraining enables them to learn relative tendencies of unobserved property values.

  In real-world reinforcement learning applications the learner's observation space is ubiquitously high-dimensional with both relevant and irrelevant information about the task at hand. We introduce a new problem setting for reinforcement learning, the Exogenous Decision Process (ExoMDP), in which the state space admits an (unknown) factorization into a small controllable component and a large irrelevant component. We provide a new algorithm, ExoRL, which learns a near-optimal policy with sample complexity in the size of the endogenous component.

  Machine learning (ML)-accelerated discovery requires large amounts of high-fidelity data to reveal predictive structure-property relationships. For many properties of interest in materials discovery, the challenging nature and high cost of data generation has resulted in a data landscape that is scarcely populated and of dubious quality. In the absence of manual curation, increasingly sophisticated natural language processing and automated image analysis are making it possible to learn structure-property relationships from the literature.

Our framework contains two modules: 1) a backbone network (e.g., feedforward neural nets) as a lower model takes features as input and outputs predicted labels; 2) a graph neural network as an upper model learns to extrapolate embeddings for new features via message passing over a feature-data graph built from observed data.
