An explainable AI framework for scientific discovery and high-stakes applications

Artificial intelligence (AI) may have more to offer science than accurate predictions. The patterns it learns could point researchers towards new, testable explanations of how complex systems function. A new Perspective co-authored by Assistant Professor Gianmarco Mengaldo from the Department of Mechanical Engineering under the College of Design and Engineering at the National University of Singap

Building an AI Foundry to transform materials discovery

Prof Ong hopes the AI Foundry can compress discovery cycles for new materials from months or years to weeks. Professor Shyue Ping Ong wants AI to do more than predict whether a material might work. His vision is a discovery system that can propose new materials for a specific purpose, identify the most useful experiments to run, learn from every result and help scientists understand why a material
