Extracting knowledge from this large and heterogeneous pool of data is challenging due to the wide variety of computational methods and approximations, resulting in significant veracity in the sheer amount of available data. Here, we present MADAS, a Python framework for computing similarity relations between material properties. It can be used to automate the download of data from various sources, compute descriptors and similarities between materials, analyze the relationship between materials through their properties, and can incorporate a variety of existing machine learning methods. We explain the design of the package and demonstrate its power with representative examples.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.10470v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.10470v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"madas-a-python-framework-for-assessing","repo_url":"https://github.com/kubanmar/madas","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"madas-a-python-framework-for-assessing","repo_url":"https://github.com/kubanmar/madas-examples","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
