Learn how to find descriptive parameters (short formulas) that predict whether alloyed materials are topological or trivial insulators, using the example of tetradymites. This notebook is based on the algorithm 'sure independence screening and sparsifying operator' (SISSO) that enables to search for optimal descriptor by scanning huge feature spaces.

A tool for predicting the difference in the total energy between different polymorphs for 82 octet binary compounds, which gives an indication of the stability of the material. This is accomplished by identifying a set of descriptive parameters (a descriptor) from the free-atom data for the binary atomic species comprising the material using the Sure Independent Screening (SIS) + l0-norm minimization approach.

In this tutorial, we will explore the best results of the NOMAD 2018 Kaggle research competition. The goal of this competition was to develop machine-learning models for the prediction of two target properties: the formation energy and the bandgap energy of transparent semiconducting oxides. The purpose of the modelling is to facilitate the discovery of new such materials and allow for advancements in (opto)electronic technologies

In this tutorial we will be using a machine learning method (clustering) to analyse results of Grain Boundary (GB) calculations of alpha-iron. Along the way we will learn about different methods to describe local atomic environment in order to calculate properties of GBs. We will use these properties to separate the different regions of the GB using clustering methods. Finally we will determine how the energy of the GB is changing according to the angle difference of the regions.
