Emerging Trends in Machine Learning: A Polymer Perspective.

In the last five years, there has been tremendous growth in machine learning and artificial intelligence as applied to polymer science. Here, we highlight the unique challenges presented by polymers and how the field is addressing them. We focus on emerging trends with an emphasis on topics that have received less attention in the review literature. Finally, we provide an outlook for the field, outline important growth areas in machine learning and artificial intelligence for polymer science and discuss important advances from the greater material science community.
