Molecular-scale interactions and chemical structures offer an enormous opportunity to tune material properties. However, designing materials from their molecular scale is a grand challenge owing to the practical limitations in exploring astronomically large design spaces using traditional experimental or computational methods. Advancements in data science and machine learning have produced a host of tools and techniques that can address this problem and facilitate the efficient exploration of large search spaces. In this work, a blended approach integrating physics-based methods, machine learning techniques and uncertainty quantification is implemented to effectively screen a macromolecular sequence space and design target structures. Here, we survey and assess the efficacy of data-driven methods within the framework of active learning for a challenging design problem |
