2. What is Materials Informatics?

Before we dive into Materials Informatics details, we should talk about what exactly Materials Informatics is and why materials researchers should care about it. In this video, we discuss how Materials Informatics can help identify structure-property-processing-performance linkages in ways that humans would not otherwise be able to do. I describe the history of the Materials Genome Initiative, a movement from domain experts to deep learning in natural language processing, and examples of machine learning successes such as AlphaFold, Al 7A77, and others.
