Fig. 3: Use of outside-the-box thinking in advancing scientific research with ML.
From: Why big data and compute are not necessarily the path to big materials science
a Conceptual research domain defined by a scientific concept and an applicational goal where the arrows represent a radical shift in research driven by outside-the-box thinking and/or creative artificial intelligence (AI). b Machine-learning-involved research loop in conjunction with possible generalization and outside-the-box thinking pathways. Blue arrows illustrate research flows in an incremental domain, green arrows show knowledge-based new research steps, and orange arrows illustrate radical shifts based on new hypotheses and generalizations in the loop.
