Abstract

Time series data contains useful information on the phase of a system. Here we propose the use of recurrent neural networks (LSTM) to learn and extract such information in order to classify phases and locate phase boundaries. We demonstrate this on a many-body localized model, and attempt to interpret the learned behavior by looking at individual LSTM cells. We also discuss the validity of the learned model and investigate its limits.
