• Authors: Thomas Mertz and Roser Valent\'i
• Abstract summary: We propose a statistical method that is capable of constructing topological models for a generic lattice without prior knowledge of the phase diagram. By sampling tight-binding parameter vectors from a random distribution we obtain data sets that we label with the corresponding topological index. This labeled data is then analyzed to extract those parameters most relevant for the topological classification and to find their most likely values. We present as a proof of concept the prediction of the Haldane model as the prototypical topological insulator for the honeycomb lattice in Altland-Zirnbauer (AZ) class A.

• Abstract: The search for materials with topological properties is an ongoing effort. In this article we propose a systematic statistical method supported by machine learning techniques that is capable of constructing topological models for a generic lattice without prior knowledge of the phase diagram. By sampling tight-binding parameter vectors from a random distribution we obtain data sets that we label with the corresponding topological index. This labeled data is then analyzed to extract those parameters most relevant for the topological classification and to find their most likely values. We find that the marginal distributions of the parameters already define a topological model. Additional information is hidden in correlations between parameters. Here we present as a proof of concept the prediction of the Haldane model as the prototypical topological insulator for the honeycomb lattice in Altland-Zirnbauer (AZ) class A. The algorithm is straightforwardly applicable to any other AZ class or lattice and could be generalized to interacting systems.

  We introduce a family of statistical models -- including clustering, time series, and classification models -- parameterized by natural language predicates. We apply our framework to a wide range of problems: taxonomizing user chat dialogues, characterizing how they evolve across time, finding categories where one language model is better than the other.

  We introduce persistent de Rham-Hodge Laplacian, or persistent Hodge Laplacian, for manifold topological learning.

As a proof-of-principle application, we consider the prediction of protein-ligand binding affinities with two benchmark datasets.

  We propose in this paper to approximate the joint posterior over the structure of a Bayesian Network. We use a single GFlowNet whose sampling policy follows a two-phase process. Since the parameters are included in the posterior distribution, this leaves more flexibility for the local probability models.
