description Abstract Solution styrene‐butadiene rubber (SSBR) finds wide applications in high performance tire design and various other fields. This study aims to create a quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) model linking SSBR's glass transition temperature (Tg) to its structural properties. A dataset of 68 sets of data from published literature was compiled to develop a predictive machine learning model for SSBR's structural design and synthesis using small sample sizes. To tackle small sample sizes, a framework combining generative adversarial networks (GAN) and the Tree‐based Pipeline Optimization Tool (TPOT) is proposed. GAN is first used to generate additional samples that mirror the original dataset's distribution, expanding the dataset. The TPOT is then applied to automatically find the best model and parameter combinations, creating an optimal predictive model for the mixed dataset. Experimental results show that using GAN to enlarge the dataset and TPOT regression models significantly enhances model performance, increasing the R2 value from 0.745 to 0.985 and decreasing the RMSE from 7.676 to 1.569. The proposed GAN–TPOT framework demonstrates the potential of combining generative models with automated machine learning to improve materials science research. This combination accelerates research and development processes, enhances prediction and design accuracy, and introduces new perspectives and possibilities for the field.
