Ensembles of Graph and Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Scientific Modeling in Materials Science: A Review
摘要
Ensemble machine learning (ML) methods have become pivotal in advancing materials science and physics, especially between 2023–2025, where predictive accuracy, uncertainty quantification, and model robustness are paramount. This review presents a comprehensive survey of modern ensemble approaches, focusing on bagging, boosting, stacking, and mixture-of-experts (MoE), and their applications across materials discovery, property prediction, and physical simulations. For instance, ensemble graph neural networks (GNNs) improved formation energy prediction with a mean absolute error (MAE) reduction from 0.072 eV/atom (single CGCNN) to 0.054 eV/atom (ensemble CGCNN), while stacked PINNs (Physics-Informed Neural Networks) reduced L
