Yet, AI has contributed less to fundamental science in part because large data sets of high-quality data for scientific practice and model discovery are more difficult to access.

Artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on published scientific findings have been used to invent valuable materials and targeted therapies, but they typically ignore the human scientists who continually alter the landscape of discovery.

When we evaluate the promise of our predictions with first-principles equations, we demonstrate that increased complementarity of our predictions does not decrease and in some cases increases the probability that the predictions possess the targeted properties.

ILL focuses on explainability and generalizability from "small data", and aims for rules akin to those humans distill from experience (rather than a representation optimized for a specific task like classification).

Large-scale trends in urban crime and global terrorism are well-predicted by socio-economic drivers, but focused, event-level predictions have had limited success.

Inspired by recent interests of developing machine learning and data mining algorithms on hypergraphs, we investigate in this paper the semi-supervised learning algorithm of propagating "soft labels" (e. g. probability distributions, class membership scores) over hypergraphs, by means of optimal transportation.

We introduce a novel definition of curvature for hypergraphs, a natural generalization of graphs, by introducing a multi-marginal optimal transport problem for a naturally defined random walk on the hypergraph.

Weak topic correlation across document collections with different numbers of topics in individual collections presents challenges for existing cross-collection topic models.
