Machine Learning in Complex Organic Mixtures: Applying Domain Knowledge Allows for Meaningful Performance with Small Data Sets.

The ability to quantify individual components of complex mixtures is a challenge found throughout the life and physical sciences. An improved capacity to generate large data sets along with the uptake of machine-learning (ML)-based analysis tools has allowed for various "omics" disciplines to realize exceptional advances. Other areas of chemistry that deal with complex mixtures often do not leverage these advances.
