Studies have... employed numerical descriptors that represent physical aspects of the composition[, ] such as sums of covalent radii, differences in electronegativity, or the average melting point of the component elements in the composition. This [form of] descriptor generation has been a crucial preprocessing step to machine learning for a wide array of properties, including melting points, thermoelectric figures of merit, thermal conductivity, solute diffusion barriers in face-centered-cubic metals, and elastic properties, to name a few. 2, record 1, English, - descriptor%20generation
