Machine-learning approach to finite-size effects in systems with strongly interacting fermions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We investigate the applicability of machine learning techniques in studying the finite-size effects associated with many-body physics. These techniques have an emerging presence in many-body theory as they have been used for interpolations, extrapolations, and in modeling wavefunctions. We will resolve several issues associated with machine learning and many-body calculations such as small datasets, outliers, and discontinuities, for the purpose of extrapolating finite calculations to macroscopic scales. We carry out a systematic investigation of two related systems by developing metrics that aim to avoid spurious effects and capture desired features. This work uses neural networks to extrapolate the Unitary Gas to the thermodynamic limit at zero-range, which is otherwise difficult to reach. The effective mass of strongly interacting neutron matter is also studied and makes use of the non-interacting problem to resolve discontinuous predictions. For this investigation, we also carried out new Auxiliary Field Diffusion Monte Carlo (AFDMC) calculations for a variety of densities and particle numbers. Ultimately, we demonstrate an effective utility for neural networks in this context.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
