Transformers Discover Molecular Structure Without Graph Priors

The paper investigates whether machine learning models can uncover physical patterns in atomistic data without relying on traditional physics-based inductive biases such as geometric locality or graph structures. By training a general-purpose architecture on molecular simulation data, the authors demonstrate that the model autonomously learns interatomic interaction strengths resembling classical electrostatics and identifies interaction cutoffs aligned with established physical models. The study also reports predictable neural scaling behavior and competitive accuracy on certain metrics compared to physics-informed architectures, suggesting that explicit priors may only be necessary when empirically justified.

Neural Renormalization Group Flow for Percolation

The paper presents a supervised, scale‑shared neural architecture that learns a coarse‑graining rule for two‑dimensional site percolation. By recursively applying this rule, the model generates a latent field from which the crossing probability is predicted and a fine‑graining decoder reconstructs the largest‑cluster mask. Trained only on small lattices, the network extrapolates to larger systems, accurately recovers the spanning cluster, and reproduces finite‑size scaling near the critical point, demonstrating that the latent representation captures critical fluctuations and scale‑dependent flows consistent with renormalization‑group theory.
