Learning the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations on a Restricted Boltzmann Machine

Abstract

We construct a hidden variable model for the EPR correlations using a Restricted Boltzmann Machine. The model reproduces the expected correlations and thus violates the Bell inequality, as required by Bell's theorem. Unlike most hidden-variable models, this model does not violate the $locality$ assumption in Bell's argument. Rather, it violates $measurement$ $independence$, albeit in a decidedly non-conspiratorial way.
