In contrast to the high computational cost associated with traditional first-principles methods, machine learning offers a promising and cost-effective alternative for band gap prediction. In this work, we demonstrate that the combination of artificial neural networks and an active learning algorithm leads to a highly data-efficient method for predicting band gaps of 2D materials while maintaining accuracy, with L1-regularization analyzing feature selection. This approach achieves a computational cost reduction by shrinking the original dataset by 80% compared to traditional training approaches9 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Quiñones, 2025http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Ciència dels materialsFísica computacionalTreballs de fi de grauMaterials scienceComputational physicsBachelor's thesesPrediction of the band gap in 2D materials using active learninginfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
