Please consider attending this seminar: MATERIALS ENGINEERING SEMINAR "MOLECULAR AND ATOMIC FEATURIZATION METHODS FOR PREDICTIVE MODEL DESIGN" By Robert Appleton Purdue MSE Preliminary Exam Advisor: Professor Alejandro Strachan ABSTRACT Materials and molecular sciences have been concerned with the way chemical and structural information is represented when passed to a model for a number of decades. This has resulted in a large variety of options when it comes to representing atomic systems. Therefore, it can be challenging to optimize the representation and resulting descriptors for a specific application. Methods for dimensionality reduction and feature selection have been developed to aid researchers in this area. This review discusses the history of the representations that have been proposed and how they have been applied, as well as a demonstration of how dimensionality reduction and feature selection can be utilized to optimize the inputs for a given model.
