Building informative materials datasets beyond targeted objectives

ArXi:2605.05104v1 Announce Type: cross Materials science data collection can be expensive, making the reuse and long-term utility of datasets critical important for future discovery campaigns. In practice, researchers prioritize a subset of properties due to research interests. However, ignoring a subset of outcomes in data collection campaigns potentially generate datasets poorly suited for future learning tasks. Here, we present a framework for dataset construction that maximizes informativeness for target properties of interest while preserving performance on untargeted ones.
