Brain Inspired Computing Approach for the Optimization of the Thin Film Thickness of Polystyrene on the Glass Substrates

摘要

Advent in machine learning is leaving deep impact on various sectors including material science domain. The present paper highlights the application of various supervised machine learning regression algorithms such as polynomial regression, decision tree regression algorithm, random forest algorithm, support vector regression algorithm and artificial neural network algorithm to determine the thin film thickness of Polystyrene on the glass substrates. The results showed that polynomial regression machine learning algorithm outperforms all other machine learning models by yielding the coefficient of determination of 0.96 approximately and mean square error of 0.04 respectively.
