Abstract Scope |
The process of scientific inquiry involves observing a signal (data) and interpreting it to generate information (knowledge). Artificial intelligence (AI) – a broad term comprising data science, machine learning (ML), neural network computing, computer vision, and other technologies – opens new avenues for extracting information from high-dimensional materials data. This presentation will focus on AI applications in the context of multimodal image-based data, including experimental and simulated atomic structures, defect structures, and microstructures. The visual information contained in these images is numerically encoded using black box computer vision (CV) methods as well as feature-based representations. ML tools are then selected based on the characteristics of the data set and the desired outcome. Results range from advanced methods for microstructural segmentation and characterization to prediction of microstructural evolution and material properties. The ultimate goal is to develop AI as a new tool for information extraction and knowledge generation in materials science. |
