数据+人工智能是材料基因工程的核心

 材料基因工程的工作模式,可大致总结为实验驱动、计算驱动和数据驱动3种。以"数据+人工智能"为标志的数据驱动模式围绕数据产生与数据处理展开,代表了材料基因工程的核心理念与发展方向。材料研究由"试错法"向科学第四范式的根本转变,将更快、更准、更省地获得成分-结构-工艺-性能间的关系。在数据密集型科学时代,快速获取大量材料数据的能力成为关键,而基于高通量实验与高通量计算的"数据工厂"是满足材料基因工程数据需求的重要平台。

Data + AI: The core of materials genomic engineering

The working models of the Materials Genomic Engineering can be roughly classified into those of the experiment-driven, the computation-driven and the data-driven. The last kind of model is consistent with the fourth paradigm of scientific approach of a fundamental change from "trial and error" to "data-intensive". Such a paradigm shift allows one to acquire the composition-structureprocess-performance relationship, as the basis for the rational design of materials, in a faster, cheaper and more accurate way. It represents the core concept and the future direction of the MGI. In this data-centric scientific era, the ability to quickly obtain a large amount of materials data becomes essential. Thus, the "data foundries"-the centralized materials data generation facilities based on high-throughput experiments and high-throughput computations are the key infrastructures for meeting the future data needs. It is contemplated that the data and the artificial intelligence will become the foundation for building the materials science of the future.
