Machine Learning in Predicting Lattice Constant of Cubic Perovskite Oxides

A sample of 3,115 data of perovskite oxides in the form of ABO3(A and B being the cations) was taken for this study of the

application of machine learning in predicting the lattice constants (a determining factor in material design). The ANN, DT, RF,

KNN, and SVM models were used to predict the lattice constants of perovskites because machine learning techniques have been

phenomenal in uncovering crystal structures in the field of material research in recent years. These models used properties like

ionic radii, formation energy, and band gap as input features. The R2score was used to assess the regression model’s performance.

The Random Forest Regression Model outperforms all other regression models regarding dataset and features.
