the various models with the similar mathematical scores may have
a significant deviation of the data distribution in the prediction
space. In order to clarify this issue, we use the 25th model and
the 26th model in Fig. 6 as examples. The 25th model with two fea-
tures (Dor, cVen) shows low scores both of RMSE_math (57) and
RMSE_phys (26). The RMSE_math score difference between the
25th model and the 26th model (cVen, En-2) is only 0.11 and they
also have one common feature (cVen), but the RMSE_phys score
difference between them is 62.75.

models. It can be seen in Fig. 7(a) the contour distribution is rela-
tively smooth, and Ms values show a monotonous change trend
with the variation of the Al and Mn contents. On the contrary,
the Ms values in Fig. 7(b) show two local low temperature areas,
which is not consistent with actual experience.
For the ML modeling, when the amount of training data is small
or there is large error in training data, several local optimal solu-
tions could be obtained. All of them may have excellent RMSE
scores, but do not necessarily mean the real physical lawn. There-
fore, the introduction of domain knowledge (physical) criterion can
