Temporal Data Leakage Inflates Machine Learning Performance in Compostable PBAT/PLA Polymer Biodegradation Modeling
This study quantifies how evaluation protocol choice, not model architecture, governs apparent machine learning (ML) performance in poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/polylactic acid (PBAT/PLA) composite biodegradation modeling. Seven regression architectures spanning linear, regularized, kernel-based, ensemble,...
