Phase probabilities in first-order transitions using machine learning

We set out to explore the possibility of investigating the critical behavior of systems with first-order phase transition using deep machine learning. We propose a machine learning protocol with ternary classification of instantaneous spin configurations using known values of disordered phase energy and ordered phase energy. The trained neural network is used to predict whether a given sample belong to one or another phase of matter. This allows us to estimate for the first time the probability that configurations with a certain energy belong to the ordered phase, coexistence phase, and disordered phase. Based on these probabilities, we obtained estimates of the values of the critical energies and latent heat for the Potts model with 10 and 20 components, which undergoes a strong discontinuous transition. We also found that the probabilities may reflect geometric transitions in the coexistence phase.

Influence of anisotropy on the study of critical behavior of spin models by machine learning methods

In this paper, we applied a deep neural network to study the issue of knowledge transferability between statistical mechanics models. The following computer experiment was conducted. A convolutional neural network was trained to solve the problem of binary classification of snapshots of the Ising model's spin configuration on a two-dimensional lattice. During testing, snapshots of the Ising model spins on a lattice with diagonal ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic connections were fed to the input of the neural network. Estimates of the probability of samples belonging to the paramagnetic phase were obtained from the outputs of the tested network. The analysis of these probabilities allowed us to estimate the critical temperature and the critical correlation length exponent. It turned out that at weak anisotropy the neural network satisfactorily predicts the transition point and the value of the correlation length exponent. Strong anisotropy leads to a noticeable deviation of the predicted values from the precisely known ones. Qualitatively, strong anisotropy is associated with the presence of oscillations of the correlation function above the Stephenson disorder temperature and further approach to the point of the fully frustrated case.
