Symbol θ
What this part means
parameters fit to a training set \{(, )\}.
Its job in the formula
θ is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it
where P is the target property, is a structural descriptor vector (lattice parameters, coordination, bonding topology), and are parameters fit to a training set \{(, )\} .
The passage around this formula
where P is the target property, is a structural descriptor vector (lattice parameters, coordination, bonding topology), and are parameters fit to a training set \{(, )\} . The equation is trivial; the content is entirely in what includes and what range of the training set spans. A model fit only on cubic perovskites extrapolates poorly to a layered structure even if the underlying physics is continuous, because f was never asked to fit that region.
Learn the underlying idea
A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
