We present a deep machine learning algorithm to extract crystal field (CF) Stevens parameters from thermodynamic data of rare-earth magnetic materials. The algorithm employs a two-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) that is trained on magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat data that is calculated theoretically within the single-ion approximation and further processed using a standard wavelet transformation. We apply the method to crystal fields of cubic, hexagonal and tetragonal symmetry and for both integer and half-integer total angular momentum values $J$ of the ground state multiplet. We evaluate its performance on both theoretically generated synthetic and previously published experimental data on CeAgSb$_2$, PrAgSb$_2$ and PrMg$_2$Cu$_9$, and find that it can reliably and accurately extract the CF parameters for all site symmetries and values of $J$ considered. This demonstrates that CNNs provide an unbiased approach to extracting CF parameters that avoids tedious multi-parameter fitting procedures.

We consider a monolayer of graphene under uniaxial, tensile strain and simulate Bloch oscillations for different electric field orientations parallel to the plane of the monolayer using several values of the components of the uniform strain tensor, but keeping the Poisson ratio in the range of observable values. We analyze the trajectories of the charge carriers with different initial conditions using an artificial neural network, trained to classify the simulated signals according to the strain applied to the membrane. When the electric field is oriented either along the Zig-Zag or the Armchair edges, our approach successfully classifies the independent component of the uniform strain tensor with up to 90% of accuracy and an error of $pm1%$ in the predicted value. For an arbitrary orientation of the field, the classification is made over the strain tensor component and the Poisson ratio simultaneously, obtaining up to 97% of accuracy with an error that goes from $pm5%$ to $pm10%$ in the strain tensor component and an error from $pm12.5%$ to $pm25%$ in the Poisson ratio.
Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are essential computational approaches with widespread use throughout all areas of science. We present a method for accelerating lattice MC simulations using fully connected and convolutional artificial neural networks that are trained to perform local and global moves in configuration space, respectively. Both networks take local spacetime MC configurations as input features and can, therefore, be trained using samples generated by conventional MC runs on smaller lattices before being utilized for simulations on larger systems. This new approach is benchmarked for the case of determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) studies of the two-dimensional Holstein model. We find that both artificial neural networks are capable of learning an unspecified effective model that accurately reproduces the MC configuration weights of the original Hamiltonian and achieve an order of magnitude speedup over the conventional DQMC algorithm. Our approach is broadly applicable to many classical and quantum lattice MC algorithms.
Automatic heart sound abnormality detection can play a vital role in the early diagnosis of heart diseases, particularly in low-resource settings. The state-of-the-art algorithms for this task utilize a set of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) band-pass filters as a front-end followed by a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. In this work, we propound a novel CNN architecture that integrates the front-end bandpass filters within the network using time-convolution (tConv) layers, which enables the FIR filter-bank parameters to become learnable. Different initialization strategies for the learnable filters, including random parameters and a set of predefined FIR filter-bank coefficients, are examined. Using the proposed tConv layers, we add constraints to the learnable FIR filters to ensure linear and zero phase responses. Experimental evaluations are performed on a balanced 4-fold cross-validation task prepared using the PhysioNet/CinC 2016 dataset. Results demonstrate that the proposed models yield superior performance compared to the state-of-the-art system, while the linear phase FIR filterbank method provides an absolute improvement of 9.54% over the baseline in terms of an overall accuracy metric.
A machine learning technique with two-dimension convolutional neural network is proposed for detecting exoplanet transits. To test this new method, five different types of deep learning models with or without folding are constructed and studied. The light curves of the Kepler Data Release 25 are employed as the input of these models. The accuracy, reliability, and completeness are determined and their performances are compared. These results indicate that a combination of two-dimension convolutional neural network with folding would be an excellent choice for the future transit analysis.
Correlated many-body problems ubiquitously appear in various fields of physics such as condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and statistical physics. However, due to the interplay of the large number of degrees of freedom, it is generically impossible to treat these problems from first principles. Thus the construction of a proper model, namely effective Hamiltonian, is essential. Here, we propose a simple scheme of constructing Hamiltonians from given energy or entanglement spectra with machine learning. We apply the proposed scheme to the Hubbard model at the half-filling, and compare the obtained effective low-energy spin-1/2 model with several analytic results based on the high order perturbation theory which have been inconsistent with each other. We also show that our approach can be used to construct the entanglement Hamiltonian of a quantum many-body state from its entanglement spectrum as well. We exemplify this using the ground states of the $S=1/2$ two-leg Heisenberg ladders. We observe a qualitative difference between the entanglement Hamiltonians of the two phases (the Haldane phase and the Rung Singlet phase) of the model due to the different origin of the entanglement. In the Haldane phase, we find that the entanglement Hamiltonian is non-local by nature, and the locality can be restored by introducing the anisotropy and turning the system into the large-$D$ phase. Possible applications to the study of strongly-correlated systems and the model construction from experimental data are discussed.
