This presentation briefly introduces the concept of Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and Materials Informatics. Materials informatics is growing extremely fast by integrating machine learning with materials science and engineering, where techniques, tools, and theories drawn from the emerging fields such as data science, internet, computer science and engineering, digital technologies, and artificial intelligence are applied to the materials science and engineering to accelerate materials, products and manufacturing innovations. Preliminary works about the data-driven development of a formula of time, stress, and temperature dependent deformation (creep and stress relaxation) and the Bayesian statistical analysis of the size-dependent strength of concrete are introduced here to illustrate the concept of materials informatics, where sufficient data are necessary prerequisites. Building-up materials database is urgent. In addition to the financial support from funding agents, every member in the materials community shall be willing to share his/her own materials data.
