• Abstract summary: We study the representational characteristics of Boltzmann machines (RBMs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs) Our results suggest that the considered RBMs and convolutional VAEs are able to capture the temperature dependence of magnetization, energy, and spin-spin correlations. We also find that convolutional layers in VAEs are important to model spin correlations whereas RBMs achieve similar or even better performances without convolutional filters.

• Abstract: Recent advances in deep learning and neural networks have led to an increased interest in the application of generative models in statistical and condensed matter physics. In particular, restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs) as specific classes of neural networks have been successfully applied in the context of physical feature extraction and representation learning. Despite these successes, however, there is only limited understanding of their representational properties and limitations. To better understand the representational characteristics of RBMs and VAEs, we study their ability to capture physical features of the Ising model at different temperatures. This approach allows us to quantitatively assess learned representations by comparing sample features with corresponding theoretical predictions. Our results suggest that the considered RBMs and convolutional VAEs are able to capture the temperature dependence of magnetization, energy, and spin-spin correlations. The samples generated by RBMs are more evenly distributed across temperature than those generated by VAEs. We also find that convolutional layers in VAEs are important to model spin correlations whereas RBMs achieve similar or even better performances without convolutional filters.
