 The Materials Genome Initiative, MGI, seeks to revolutionize materials discovery through data-driven techniques. These techniques have been used to develop predictive models for material properties as well as to discover new materials. Data-driven methods have enabled researchers to quickly identify materials with desired properties, reducing the time needed to find them. This has led to significant advances in materials informatics, allowing for faster and more efficient materials discovery. This article was authored by Ankit Agrawal and Alok Choudhury.
