Interpretable Active Learning Identifies Iron‐Doped Carbon Dots With High Photothermal Conversion Efficiency for Antitumor Synergistic Therapy

Aggregate, EarlyView.
On the basis of active learning strategy, we propose an equivalent value—SHapley Additive exPlanations equivalent value—to optimize carbon dots’ photothermal conversion efficiency. Within four iterations, iron‐doped carbon dots are synthesized with the efficiency exceeding 78.7%.
