Fig. 1: The proposed strategy to generate new numerical descriptions of elements for a particular problem.

a Common practice is to combine the composition with numerical descriptions of elements to construct material features. b The known numerical descriptions of elements, such as radius and valence electron concentration, are only a small fraction of the optimization space. Better numerical descriptions of elements are likely to be generated to improve the model's performance and extensibility. c As the optimization space is enormous, a tailored genetic algorithm framework is employed to generate better numerical descriptions of elements.
