When Literature Data Mislead Artificial Intelligence in Materials Discovery

The article examines how scientific literature, often used as a data source for AI in materials science, can contain hidden inaccuracies such as text-figure mismatches, ambiguous axis labels, unit inconsistencies, and missing measurement context. By tracing solid electrolyte conductivity values from original papers to curated datasets, the authors uncover recurrent errors that are numerically plausible yet hard to detect, leading to significant label noise in AI models. A cross-database example demonstrates that ambiguous reporting can cause a 100‑fold error in conductivity values, underscoring the need for traceable reporting, rigorous curation, and validation practices in AI-driven discovery.

Atoms to Processes: The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Chemical Engineering

The article discusses how the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is transforming chemical engineering by influencing problem formulation, analysis, and solution across a wide range of applications, from atomic-scale simulations to industrial operations. It highlights recent methodological advances and representative uses, noting a shift from purely black-box models to hybrid and physics-informed frameworks that incorporate conservation laws, thermodynamic consistency, and structural constraints. These integrated approaches enhance robustness, reliability, and human-AI collaboration, ultimately amplifying rather than replacing core chemical engineering principles.

Quality Metrics for LLM-Generated Asset Administration Shells: A Perturbation-Based Evaluation Approach

The paper introduces a perturbation-based framework to evaluate quality metrics for large language model (LLM) generated Asset Administration Shells (AAS). By systematically degrading AAS outputs across multiple dimensions, the study identifies that exact property name matching and value-based recall, along with name-based F1 score, best reflect quality changes. Experiments on 6,400 AAS instances from 200 products across GPT‑4o‑mini, Qwen3, and DeepSeek‑R1 reveal how different perturbations affect metrics and highlight variations among model families and product segments.
