ABSTRACT
A new perspective on alloy thermodynamics computation uses data-driven analysis and machine learning for the design and discovery of materials. The focus is on an integrated machine-learning framework, coupling different genres of supervised and unsupervised informatics techniques, and bridging two distinct viewpoints: continuum representations based on solid solution thermodynamics and discrete high-dimensional elemental descriptions.
