Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
For applications in chemistry and physics, machine learning is generally used to solve one of three problems: interpolation, classification or clustering. These problems use information about physical systems in a certain range of parameters or variables in order to make predictions at unknown values of these variables within the same range. The present work illustrates the application of machine learning to prediction of physical properties outside the range of the training parameters. We define ‘physical extrapolation’ to refer to accurate predictions y(x) of a given physical property at a point in the D-dimensional space, if, at least, one of the variables xi[x1,…,xD] is outside of the range covering the training data. We show that Gaussian processes can be used to build machine learning models capable of physical extrapolation of quantum properties of complex systems across quantum phase transitions. The approach is based on training Gaussian process models of variable complexity by the evolution of the physical functions. We show that, as the complexity of the models increases, they become capable of predicting new transitions. We also show that, where the evolution of the physical functions is analytic and relatively simple (one example considered here is a + b∕x + c∕x), Gaussian process models with simple kernels already yield accurate generalization results, allowing for accurate predictions of quantum properties in a different quantum phase. For more complex problems, it is necessary to build models with complex kernels. The complexity of the kernels is increased using the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). We illustrate the importance of the BIC by comparing the results with random kernels of various complexity. We discuss strategies to minimize overfitting and illustrate a method to obtain meaningful extrapolation results without direct validation in the extrapolated region.
