Classifying Directional Trajectories Near Criticality in the Three-State Majority-Vote Model with Deep Belief Networks and Bidirectional GRUs

The study explores whether a Deep Belief Network (DBN) and a Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi‑GRU) can distinguish four distinct trajectory types in the three‑state majority‑vote model (MV3): approach from disorder, approach from order, departure to disorder, and departure to order. The DBN, trained unsupervised on static equilibrium snapshots, partially separates these trajectories in its 81‑dimensional latent space, while a two‑layer Bi‑GRU trained on sequences of DBN‑encoded snapshots achieves near‑perfect classification, as confirmed by t‑SNE visualizations on both training and test data. A sliding‑window application of the Bi‑GRU to continuous MV3 dynamics further demonstrates real‑time detection of the system’s current dynamical regime.

Scaling Up Thermodynamic AI Models

Thermodynamic computing devices based on the Ising model show great promise for low-power AI inference and edge computing, but scalable methods for training large models for such hardware remain limited. Prior theory shows that the time-averaged behavior of high-temperature Gibbs-sampled Ising systems can implement feed-forward neural inference.

Equilibrium Training of Energy-Based Models with Parallel Trajectory Tempering

Energy-Based Models (EBMs) provide an interpretable framework for generative modeling of scientific data, but poor Markov Chain Monte Carlo mixing often limits their reliability. We introduce a training algorithm based on Parallel Trajectory Tempering (PTT), which exploits the continuity of the optimization path to maintain equilibrium sampling throughout learning.

Nonlocal Transition Kernel for Efficient Learning of Restricted Boltzmann Machines

The paper introduces a new transition kernel for Restricted Boltzmann Machines that operates over the sequence of models used in Deep Tempering. This kernel employs a round‑trip structure, allowing nonlocal moves in a single transition while keeping the RBM sequence unchanged. Experiments demonstrate that it achieves higher sampling quality with fewer transitions than both blocked Gibbs sampling and Deep Tempering, and it stabilizes learning by reducing training failures.
