“…Of late, applications of machine learning to materials science and engineering has emerged as a transformative tool for materials discovery [1,2,3]. These applications typically range from deep learning [4,5], for image-based tasks [6,7,8], to more recent natural language processing adaptations to aid in design of new materials [9,10,11]. Although machine learning approaches to materials discovery have found applications across multiple materials domains, it has yet to make an impact in the field of dental materials [12,13].…”
