Abstract: In this work, long standing challenges in the research on amorphous materials have been identified. In particular, the lack of reliable data repositories for properties and structures of amorphous materials significantly limits the possibilities for research. As a consequence, state-of-the-art data-driven methods, which have been widely used for crystalline materials for decades, can hitherto only be used in most limited capacity in the domain of amorphous materials. A pathway towards a resolution of these problems is proposed in this work. The...
