Taguchi–Bayesian Sampling: A Roadmap for Polymer Database Construction Toward Small Representative Machine Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This article establishes a Taguchi–Bayesian sampling strategy to reconstruct polymer processing–property landscape at minimal sampling cost, generically building the roadmap for materials database construction from sampling their vast design space. This sampling strategy is featured by an alternating lesson between uniformity and representativeness ...

AS‐pHopt: An Optimal pH Prediction Model Enhanced by Active Site of Enzymes

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
To address the low accuracy of enzyme optimal pH (pHopt) prediction, this study develops active site‐based pHopt (AS‐pHopt), a prediction model enhanced by active site information and pseudo‐label prediction. Integrating key structural and physicochemical features affecting enzyme pHopt, AS‐pHopt uses Evolutionary Scale Modeling (ESM)‐2 with active ...
