• Abstract: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been employed along with Variational Monte Carlo methods for finding the ground state of quantum many-body spin systems with great success. In order to do so, however, a CNN with only linearly many variational parameters has to circumvent the ``curse of dimensionality'' and successfully approximate a wavefunction on an exponentially large Hilbert space. In our work, we provide a theoretical and experimental analysis of how the CNN optimizes learning for spin systems, and investigate the CNN's low dimensional approximation. We first quantify the role played by physical symmetries of the underlying spin system during training. We incorporate our insights into a new training algorithm and demonstrate its improved efficiency, accuracy and robustness. We then further investigate the CNN's ability to approximate wavefunctions by looking at the entanglement spectrum captured by the size of the convolutional filter. Our insights reveal the CNN to be an ansatz fundamentally centered around the occurrence statistics of $K$-motifs of the input strings. We use this motivation to provide the shallow CNN ansatz with a unifying theoretical interpretation in terms of other well-known statistical and physical ansatzes such as the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) and entangled plaquette correlator product states (EP-CPS). Using regression analysis, we find further relationships between the CNN's approximations of the different motifs' expectation values. Our results allow us to gain a comprehensive, improved understanding of how CNNs successfully approximate quantum spin Hamiltonians and to use that understanding to improve CNN performance.

• Separation of scales and a thermodynamic description of feature learning in some CNNs [2.28438857884398]
  Deep neural networks (DNNs) are powerful tools for compressing and distilling information. A common strategy in such cases is to identify slow degrees of freedom that average out the erratic behavior of the underlying fast microscopic variables. Here, we identify such a separation of scales occurring in over- parameterized deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) at the end of training. The resulting thermodynamic theory of deep learning yields accurate predictions on several deep non-linear CNN toy models.

  Single particle imaging (SPI) at X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) is particularly well suited to determine the 3D structure of particles in their native environment. For a successful reconstruction, diffraction patterns originating from a single hit must be isolated from a large number of acquired patterns. We propose to formulate this task as an image classification problem and solve it using convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures.
