| Abstract Scope |
Reliable materials discovery increasingly demands AI that is not only accurate but trustworthy—able to quantify its confidence and improve its own training data. Using solid-state electrolyte discovery, I will present MuLiCon, a physics-informed, uncertainty-aware multimodal framework bridging molecular-dynamics (MD) modeling and experimental decision-making. MuLiCon fuses three physical views of each material: foundational chemistry from a universal machine-learning interatomic potential, structure from simulated X-ray diffraction, and dynamics from species-separated phonon density of states. A dual-task classifier–regressor with a deep ensemble yields aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty, enabling active abstention on ambiguous cases rather than overconfident false positives. Under cross-validation, abstention improves reliability; a retrained modality ablation reveals a division of labor: foundational chemistry forms the predictive backbone, while interpretable diffraction and phonon signals add complementary classification and precision gains. The same uncertainty drives a closed loop: uncertainty-guided screening of unsimulated databases alongside a self-curating strategy that re-simulates the least-reliable labels. |
