Unsupervised machine learning for physical concepts
In recent years, machine learning methods have been used to assist scientists in scientific research. Human scientific theories are based on a series of concepts. How machine learns the concepts from experimental data will be an important first step. We propose a hybrid method to extract interpretable physical concepts through unsupervised machine learning. This method consists of two stages. At first, we need to find the Betti numbers of experimental data. Secondly, given the Betti numbers, we use a variational autoencoder network to extract meaningful physical variables. We test our protocol on toy models and show how it works.

Intrinsic Physical Concepts Discovery with Object-Centric Predictive Models
The ability to discover abstract physical concepts and understand how they work in the world through observing lies at the core of human intelligence. The acquisition of this ability is based on compositionally perceivin…
Discovering Phase Transitions with Unsupervised Learning
Unsupervised learning is a discipline of machine learning which aims at discovering patterns in big data sets or classifying the data into several categories without being trained explicitly. We show that unsupervised le…

The recent successful deep neural networks are largely trained in a supervised manner. It {\it associates} complex patterns of input samples with neurons in the last layer, which form representations of {\it concepts}. I…
Discover physical concepts and equations with machine learning
Machine learning can uncover physical concepts or physical equations when prior knowledge from the other is available. However, these two aspects are often intertwined and cannot be discovered independently. We extend Sc…
