Good in-distribution performance is the easy part. The harder question is when and why models fail on new polymers and formulations, and the answer isn't as simple as "more data."

We think there are important implications for anyone using ML to guide #polymer design or build a #SelfDrivingLab.

Not to toot my own horn, but I think this is incredibly important and a very difficult challenge to overcome quickly. Hopefully our call to action can spur faster progress!
I’m excited to share a Call To Action I organized with @RenPhilanthropy "On the Need for Autonomous Science Instruments" Signed by 25 leading researchers across the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Japan, we call for a new generation of autonomous science instruments based on three core pillars: ⚙️ Open Data & Software APIs 🤖 Design-for-Automation 🧩 Instrument Modularity We also published a press release supporting the Call To Action, which includes endorsing quotes from AI & science leaders: @Kevinweil (OpenAI), @AndyHickl (Allen Institute), @jrkelly (Gingko), @teresasmeyer (Carnegie Mellon), @smc_ (Acceleration Consortium), and Michael Brenner (Harvard/Deepmind).

Conventional or #selfdrivinglab experiments can be informed by data gathered from the literature. Important scientific challenges often require the development of previously unknown materials: materials discovery. #machinelearning models are not designed for this scenario...

We explore how model performance can be assessed in this scenario, and use conjugated polymer conformation as a test case.

Do you know of any papers that have datasets of organic materials (polymers, molecules) with experimental parameters–not material properties, but stuff like concentration, temperature, whatever?

Another instrument is up and running! We set up our @GyrosProteinTec PurePep Chorus last Friday. Keep an eye out for exciting developments on this front 👀

We just completed the installation of Big Purchase #1™️: a quadruple (!) detector SEC from @TosohBio. This bad boy has RI, UV, MALS, & viscometry 💪 We're really excited to start getting some absolute molecular weights!

First semester at @ncstatemse is in the books! Not only is @NCStateEngr building the future of #SelfDrivingLabs, but there's an awesome self-driving library
