• Title: Predicting nucleation near the spinodal in the Ising model using machine learning
• Authors: Shan Huang, William Klein, Harvey Gould
• Abstract summary: We use a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and two logistic regression models to predict the probability of nucleation in the two-dimensional Ising model. The CNN outperforms the logistic regression models near the spinodal of the Long Range Ising model, but the accuracy of its predictions decreases as the quenches approach the spinodal.

• Abstract: We use a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and two logistic regression models to predict the probability of nucleation in the two-dimensional Ising model. The three models successfully predict the probability for the Nearest Neighbor Ising model for which classical nucleation is observed. The CNN outperforms the logistic regression models near the spinodal of the Long Range Ising model, but the accuracy of its predictions decreases as the quenches approach the spinodal. Occlusion analysis suggests that this decrease is due to the vanishing difference between the density of the nucleating droplet and the background. Our results are consistent with the general conclusion that predictability decreases near a critical point.
