A hallmark of the scientific process since the time of Newton has been the derivation of mathematical equations meant to capture relationships between observables. As the field of mathematical modeling evolved, practitioners specifically emphasized mathematical formulations that were predictive, generalizable, and interpretable. Machine learning’s ability to interrogate complex processes is particularly useful for the analysis of highly heterogeneous, anisotropic materials where idealized descriptions often fail. As we move into this new era, we anticipate the need to leverage machine learning to aid scientists in extracting meaningful, but yet sometimes elusive, relationships between observed quantities.
