| contents | Interpretable AI can reveal physical principles governing intricate materials properties by uncovering explicit relationships between physical parameters and target properties. The sure-independence screening and sparsifying operator (SISSO) symbolic-regression approach identifies analytical expressions that correlate a target property with a small set of parameters, termed materials genes, selected from a large pool of candidates. However, multiple gene combinations can yield equally accurate SISSO models, with individual genes contributing with different weights. Here, we establish a derivative-based sensitivity analysis that resolves the non-uniqueness of symbolic-regression descriptions, enhances interpretability, thereby enabling deeper physical insight. This analysis reveals how distinct gene combinations encode equivalent information and identifies valence orbital radii, nuclear charges, and their products as the key quantities governing the equilibrium lattice constant of perovskites. |
