Abstract
based on 403,959 COFs. We explore the relationship between 23 features such as the structure, chemical characteristics, atom types of COFs, and the working capacity. Then, the tree-based pipeline optimization tool (TPOT) in AutoML and the traditional ML methods including multiple linear regression, support vector machine, decision tree, and random forest that manually set model parameters are compared. It is found that the TPOT can not only save complex data preprocessing and model parameter tuning but also show higher performance than traditional ML models. Compared with traditional grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations, it can save a lot of time. AutoML has broken through the limitations of professionals so that researchers in nonprofessional fields can realize automatic parameter configuration for experiments to obtain highly accurate and easy-to-understand results, which is of great significance for material screening.
