Autoencoders Learn Ising Model Dynamics: Two Regimes Identified

Researchers have investigated the learning dynamics of autoencoders when trained on data from the Ising model, a system used to study magnetism. They identified two distinct dynamical regimes related to model hyperparameters: one dominated by magnetization and another by energy representation. The study reveals that deep models trained too quickly can become stuck before reaching these regimes. By analyzing prediction errors and training trajectories, the researchers established a dynamical perspective on learning, viewing it as a process driven by fluctuations from training data and the optimizer.

    Interpreting learning dynamics of autoencoders: Transient scaling and emerging concepts of the Ising model

    arXiv:2607.10285v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study how unsupervised autoencoders trained on microscopic spin configurations from the Ising model learn macroscopic, theory-relevant variables underlying the data-generating process. Without embedding domain knowledge, we mimic…
