Unsupervised machine learning for detection of phase transitions in off-lattice systems. I. Foundations

Abstract: We demonstrate the utility of an unsupervised machine learning tool for the detection of phase transitions in off-lattice systems. We focus on the application of principal component analysis (PCA) to detect the freezing transitions of two-dimensional hard-disk and three-dimensional hard-sphere systems as well as liquid-gas phase separation in a patchy colloid model. As we demonstrate, PCA autonomously discovers order-parameter-like quantities that report on phase transitions, mitigating the need for a priori c… Show more

“…Recent advances in the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for physical systems, especially, on those which can be formulated on a lattice, appear to be suitable for observing the corresponding underlying phase structure [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. So far methods such as the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) [6,10,12,18,19], Supervised Machine Learning (ML) [2,15,20], Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) [21,22], as well as autoencoders [6,13] appear to successfully identify different phase regions of classical statistical systems, such as the 2-dimensional (2D) Ising model that describes the (anti)ferromagneticparamagnetic transition.…”
