Neural Network Method for Calculation of the Curie Point of the Two-Dimensional Ising Model

Abstract

The authors describe a method for determining the critical point of a second order phase transitions using a convolutional neural network based on the Ising model on a square lattice. Data for training and analysis were obtained using Monte Carlo simulations. The neural network was trained on the data corresponding to the low-temperature phase, that is a ferromagnetic one and high-temperature phase, that is a paramagnetic one, respectively. After training, the neural network analyzed input data from the entire temperature range: from 0.1 to 5.0 (in dimensionless units J) and determined the Curie point Tc.
