Data Mining and Graph Network Deep Learning for Band Gap Prediction in Crystalline Borate Materials.

Crystalline borates are an important class of functional materials with wide applications in photocatalysis and laser technologies. Obtaining their band gap values in a timely and precise manner is a great challenge in material design due to the issues of computational accuracy and cost of first-principles methods. Although machine learning (ML) techniques have shown great successes in predicting the versatile properties of materials, their practicality is often limited by the data set quality.
