Interpretation of material spectra can be data-driven using machine learning
Modern spectroscopy techniques can produce tens of thousands of spectra from a single experiment, which has placed a considerable burden on traditional human-driven methods for interpretation of these spectra. A research team led by The University of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science combined two machine learning techniques, layer clustering and decision tree methods, to produce data-driven methods for spectral interpretation and prediction that can analyze any spectral data quickly and accurately.
