From descriptors to machine learning interatomic potentials: a review of AI-accelerated electrocatalyst design

Figure 4. (A) Pearson correlations. Heatmap of the Pearson coefficient r among all primary features and the target. Color encodes r from -1 (strong negative; yellow) to +1 (strong positive; blue); each cell prints its r value. Adapted with permission from Zhao et al.[36] (© Royal Society of Chemistry 2024); changes made: cropped to only include panel a; (B) SHAP summary (violin) plot. X-axis: SHAP value, feature impact on the model output. Points are individual samples; violin width shows density; features are ordered by mean |SHAP|. Point color encodes the raw feature value. Positive SHAP values shift the prediction upward; negative values shift it downward.

SHAP force plot for one example: red bars push the prediction higher relative to the model’s expected value; blue bars push it lower.
