| Abstract Scope |
Gaussian process regression (GPR) is an extremely useful technique to predict composition–property relationships in glasses. The GPR’s main advantage over other machine learning methods is its inherent ability to provide the standard deviation of the predictions. However, the method remains restricted to small datasets due to cubic time complexity associated with it. So herein, using a scalable GPR algorithm, namely, kernel interpolation for scalable structured Gaussian processes (KISS-GP) along with massively scalable GP (MSGP), we develop composition–property models for inorganic glasses. The models are based on a large dataset with more than 100000 glass compositions, 37 components, and nine crucial properties: density, Young’s, shear, bulk moduli, thermal expansion coefficient, Vickers’ hardness, refractive index, glass transition temperature, and liquidus temperature. We show that the models developed here are superior to the state-of-the-art machine learning models. We also demonstrate that the GPR models can reasonably capture the underlying composition-dependent physics. |
