Claims
By contrasting feature attributions across seven diverse classifiers in a heterogeneous Rashomon set, the framework extracts consensus design rules (filled valence s-, d-, and f-shells, low chemical heterogeneity, enrichment in C, S, Si, O) that enable identification of 122 high-confidence candidates from ~45,000 compounds, with DFT validation showing dielectric screening as a coherence proxy (R² = 0.89 against experimental T₂) and favorable mid-gap states in TiO₂.
That consensus feature attributions from composition-only classifiers trained on existing data capture the essential physical requirements for quantum defect hosting and that the dielectric-T₂ correlation observed in 12 materials will generalize to the full set of 122 screened candidates without structural or defect-specific details in the initial filter.
A composition-only ML framework with Rashomon ensembles extracts consensus design rules and screens ~45,000 compounds to identify 122 high-confidence quantum defect hosts, recovering known materials and predicting new ones validated by limited DFT.
