Big Data of Materials Science - Critical Role of the Descriptor

Abstract

Statistical learning of materials properties or functions so far starts with a largely silent, non-challenged step: the choice of the set of descriptive parameters (termed descriptor). However, when the scientific connection between the descriptor and the actuating mechanisms is unclear, causality of the learned descriptor-property relation is uncertain. Thus, trustful prediction of new promising materials, identification of anomalies, and scientific advancement are doubtful. We analyse this issue and define requirements for a suited descriptor. For a classical example, the energy difference of zincblende/wurtzite and rocksalt semiconductors, we demonstrate how a meaningful descriptor can be found systematically.
