\subsection{CNT}  Classical Nucleation Theory is the standard treatment for nucleation, and  it has been widely used to predict nucleation rates albeit, with order-of-magnitude errors. It  manages to transform a kinetic theory into a thermodynamic one by making certain assumption about some microscopic quantitites $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $N(n)$. Through molecular simulation it is possible to verify those assumptions directly, making it a tremendous tool in aiding to verify assumptions, development of new theories etc.  In this thesis we develop a data-centered approach to the problem.
