Cover Picture: The figure design, rooted in the Chinese legend of the cowherd (Niulang) and the weaver girl (Zhinv), integrates cultural elements with machine-learning concepts. The magpie bridge, where the couple meets, is reimagined as a machine-learning tool connecting Niulang and Zhinv. Niulang, holding a structure split into feature-space descriptors, steps onto the bridge. As these features traverse the bridge, a series of mathematical operations from machine learning (Sure Independence Screening and Sparsifying Operator, SISSO) are applied. The process results in an interpretable white-box model, symbolized by the moon's light illuminating the bridge, with the moon representing the white-box aspect of machine learning. Zhinv, on the other end, holds a gem-like crystal structure with an epsilon (ε) symbol inside, indicating the model's capability to predict and explain the dielectric constant.
