Prometheus: Unsupervised Discovery of Phase Transitions and Order Parameters in the 2D Ising Model Using Variational Autoencoders (Student Abstract)
AAAI 2026technical
Phase transitions in condensed matter systems traditionally require prior knowledge of order parameters for identification. We present Prometheus, a variational autoencoder framework for unsupervised discovery of phase transitions and order parameters in the two-dimensional Ising model without prior
