• Abstract: Machine learning (ML) methods have proved to be a very successful tool in physical sciences, especially when applied to experimental data analysis. Artificial intelligence is particularly good at recognizing patterns in high dimensional data, where it usually outperforms humans. Here we applied a simple ML tool called principal component analysis (PCA) to study data from muon spectroscopy. The measured quantity from this experiment is an asymmetry function, which holds the information about the average intrinsic magnetic field of the sample. A change in the asymmetry function might indicate a phase transition; however, these changes can be very subtle, and existing methods of analyzing the data require knowledge about the specific physics of the material. PCA is an unsupervised ML tool, which means that no assumption about the input data is required, yet we found that it still can be successfully applied to asymmetry curves, and the indications of phase transitions can be recovered. The method was applied to a range of magnetic materials with different underlying physics. We discovered that performing PCA on all those materials simultaneously can have a positive effect on the clarity of phase transition indicators and can also improve the detection of the most important variations of asymmetry functions. For this joint PCA we introduce a simple way to track the contributions from different materials for a more meaningful analysis.

  This work shows how it can be accomplished for the ferromagnetic Ising model, the main target of several machine learning (ML) studies in statistical physics. By using a neural network (NN) without hidden layers (the simplest possible) and informed by the symmetry of the Hamiltonian, an explanation is provided for the strategy used in finding the supervised learning solution. These results pave the way to a physics-informed explainable generalized framework, enabling the extraction of physical laws and principles from the parameters of the models.

  In the anisotropic setting, the commonly used spherical gradient dynamics may fail to recover the true direction. We show that appropriate weight normalization that is reminiscent of batch normalization can alleviate this issue. In particular, under the spiked model with a suitably large spike, the sample complexity of gradient-based training can be made independent of the information exponent.
