A cautionary tale for machine learning generated configurations in presence of a conserved quantity

Abstract

We investigate the performance of machine learning algorithms trained exclusively with configurations obtained from importance sampling Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional Ising model with conserved magnetization. For supervised machine learning, we use convolutional neural networks and find that the corresponding output not only allows to locate the phase transition point with high precision, it also displays a finite-size scaling characterized by an Ising critical exponent. For unsupervised learning, restricted Boltzmann machines (RBM) are trained to generate new configurations that are then used to compute various quantities. We find that RBM generates configurations with magnetizations and energies forbidden in the original physical system. The RBM generated configurations result in energy density probability distributions with incorrect weights as well as in wrong spatial correlations. We show that shortcomings are also encountered when training RBM with configurations obtained from the non-conserved Ising model.

Rural Built-Up Area Extraction from Remote Sensing Images Using Spectral Residual Methods with Embedded Deep Neural Network

“…The performance of the SR method is perfect in small-scale regions, but the sult is unsatisfactory in a large-scale image, which is shown in Figure 1. Fortunately, the rapid development of the deep neural network (DNN) within ImageNet contest [17][18][19][20] in recent years has given an opportunity for its use in rem sensing images and many other fields [21][22][23][24]. The traditional methods mostly focus small regions, and DNN gives a good prospect for the extraction of built-up areas in lar scale images.…”
