Yes, it is half baked, we stopped because the quantity of data needed to continue was too expensive. Concerning the materials that were in the confusion matrix that you saw, it was only non asbestos materials (plexiglas doesn't ever contain asbestos for instance). The confusion matrix that you saw was made to prove you could identify different materials from one another, we never went as far as getting two same materials and one with asbestos minerals inside it.

About AI. Two things you learn in school : for centuries, we measured the world and modelled it using differential equations, and other mathematical concepts. Humans just have a certain limit to finding patterns, and this limit is covered by AI, which when you come to think of it is just a series of calculations to model statistical phenomenons.

Physics is a statistical phenomenon, therefore AI is now being used everywhere in physics to model the world.
